As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Iran has issued a series of stark warnings to both Israel and its Gulf neighbors. Iranian officials have threatened retaliatory actions against Israel and its allies should they assist in any military operations. The Iranian foreign minister reiterated that any aid provided to Israel by Gulf states could result in severe consequences. Concurrently, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is reportedly seeking to keep its members neutral amid the growing conflict, urging the US to prevent Israeli strikes on Iranian oil sites. Meanwhile, as Iran prepares for potential conflict, nationalist sentiments are reviving within the country, bolstered by threats from Israel. Regional powers, while expressing support for Palestine, are wary of aligning too closely with Israel against Iran, fearing the repercussions of an all-out war. As the situation develops, there are calls for Gulf nations to avoid complicity and stay on the sidelines, reflecting a delicate balance in diplomatic relations amidst the looming threat of military escalation.
