Fars: Five Gulf states back US strikes on Iran

Five Arab countries—Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar—have provided their territories, airspace, and military bases to support U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, according to Fars, citing an Iranian intelligence source.

On the evening of March 24, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that Saudi Arabia supports the continuation of strikes against Iran, stating, Prince Mohammed bin Salman is "fighting with us." There has been no official response from Riyadh.

On March 25, the UAE Ambassador to the U.S. expressed support for U.S. and Israeli actions against Iran in an article for the Wall Street Journal.

According to the intelligence source, based on reliable open and classified information, the five countries—Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia—provided territory, airspace, and military bases to U.S. forces. Their land, air, and maritime zones were used in multiple U.S. air, sea, and missile strikes, even beyond the boundaries of the military bases.
