Arab Nations Warn Tehran: We Will Respond If You Attack Our Infrastructure

According to Walla, citing The Wall Street Journal, US allies in the Gulf are bracing for potential heavy US airstrikes on Iran, fearing retaliatory strikes against their own infrastructure. Several Arab nations have warned Tehran that they would respond individually or collectively if their infrastructure is targeted. US President Donald Trump stated he has not made a final decision and wishes to give diplomacy a chance, though Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed for military action. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized Tehran's readiness for dialogue. Regional countries, including Qatar and the UAE, have increased security measures, and mediation efforts are underway to reopen diplomatic channels and de-escalate tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, although disagreements over initial steps persist.
