Reuters: Iran threatens Saudi Arabia with war if it provides aid to Israel
Iran has threatened Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE with war if these countries assist Israel in retaliating against Iran. This is reported by Reuters with reference to sources.
It is alleged that the Gulf countries refused to allow Israel to use their airspace after notifying the United States. During meetings this week, Iranian officials warned Saudi Arabia that the security of Riyadh’s oil facilities “cannot be guaranteed” if it assists Israel in an attack.
It is noted that a “clear signal” was sent to the kingdom’s authorities about the consequences of such a decision. “The Iranians said, ‘If the Gulf countries open their airspace to Israel, it will be an act of war,'” said Saudi analyst Ali Shihabi.
Earlier it became known that the Israeli Security Cabinet will hold a meeting to decide on a response to the Iranian attack. A vote is planned, according to an Israeli official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
