      Do you mean aside from hosting American planes, missiles, soldiers, intelligence, and ships, all of which were used to attack Iran?

          I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Saudi Arabia gave the United States military permission to use its air bases for direct attacks on iran.

        theyre only in a position of strength against the united states, as the US’ overinflated economy cannot continue the war the GCC can ride this out til Iran and US kill each other

        what the GCC cant ride out peacefully is the unprovoked attack.

          I’m not going to touch your belief that the attacks on US collaborators are unprovoked. That doesn’t matter. What matters is that Iran has the ability to make demands because the GCC can’t do shit about it. Iran has a position of strength over the GCC too.

        I heard a speculation somewhere that if worst comes to worst, USA might try to offload the ‘paying reparations’ part to the Gulf countries that are allied with it.
