In an interview broadcast on Asharq News on 3 March, Adhwan al-Ahmari, the editor-in-chief of Independent Arabia and the president of the Saudi Journalists Association, said that “not all attacks” targeting Persian Gulf nations come from Iran, and stressed fears that the US–Israeli alliance wants to “trap” Gulf nations into joining the war.
“Some believe this war is an American-Israeli trap to implicate the Gulf countries and draw them into a confrontation with Iran,” Ahmari said. “This hypothesis, I think, increases every day.”
Two additional Iranian sources told MEE that Israel’s Mossad intelligence service may have launched some operations from within Iran, claiming authorities were searching for drone storage facilities allegedly used in the attacks.
The monarchies likely wouldn’t. No, this isn’t the US being involved.
… it’s the US and Israel being the cause. The Saudis are dragged in due to an alliance with Trump and a desire to participate in the imec trade corridor.
My point is that I am hoping this doesn’t end up being the nexus of a global conflict (yes, WW3 is what I mean), but I’m a bit worried that it’s going to wind up that way.
War in the middle east is pretty common.
Your point being?
The commenter above me was worried it’s the start of WW3. I don’t think it is.
