Violating Sovereignty and Entrenching Dependence: Gulf States Serving the Military and Security Agendas of the US-Zionist Alliance
The dubious roles of some Gulf states are no longer mere analysis or speculation. The treacherous US-Zionist aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran has presented the world with undeniable facts on the ground.
This aggression has revealed that “Gulf sovereignty” is nothing but a facade, while the reality is complete and total subservience to the Zionist project.
The attacks targeting the Iranian heartland would not have been possible had Gulf territories and systems not been transformed into a transit corridor and launching pad for the enemy. This has turned these regimes from mere “hosts” of foreign forces into “direct partners” in the aggression, thus granting Iran the full and legitimate right to strike these bases and destroy their defense systems, which they have willingly allowed to serve as a shield for the aggressors.
The Consequences of Military Presence: Transforming Gulf Geography into Platforms for Aggression
The realities of the current confrontation have proven that the American bases entrenched in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states were never intended to “protect allies,” as Western propaganda claimed. Rather, they are advanced colonial outposts placed at the absolute disposal of the Zionist military machine.
The war has demonstrated that sovereignty in these countries has become hollow, as the airports of the UAE and Qatar, and the ports of Bahrain and Kuwait, have been transformed into lifelines for the aggression.
Opening Gulf airspace and waters to Zionist naval vessels and aircraft under the American umbrella has proven that these regimes have surrendered their sovereign decision-making power to the “operations rooms” in Tel Aviv and Washington, thus making their territories legitimate targets for a devastating Iranian defensive response.
“Functional Dependence” and the Gulf States’ Protection of US Bases
In the midst of this confrontation, the most egregious forms of humiliating subservience were revealed. The official Gulf regimes not only opened their territories to aggression but also volunteered to act as “personal bodyguards” for the foreign aggressor.
While legitimate Iranian missiles were launched to strike the bases from which the aggression originated, the role of the Gulf states’ defense systems—purchased with billions of dollars of national wealth—emerged as “proxy defense” for the American forces.
The Gulf officers and systems’ attempt to intercept the Iranian retaliation targeting American bases exposed the erosion of national military decision-making in favor of the US Central Command.
These regimes have willingly depleted their defense capabilities to shield the American and Zionist aggressors from their inevitable punishment, transforming their armies into mere functional “protection units” guarding those who destabilize the region. This has stripped them of any semblance of sovereignty and made them an integral part of the enemy’s operational military structure.
Gulf Capitals: Dens of Mossad and CIA Activity
One of the most dangerous consequences of the post-Abraham Accords era is the transformation of Gulf capitals into “black operations rooms” openly run by the Zionist Mossad.
Manama, Dubai, and other capitals have become centers for espionage and sabotage operations targeting Iranian national security and the Resistance Axis.
This intensive intelligence activity, conducted under the guise of “security cooperation,” has gone beyond information gathering to include managing cyberattacks, assassinations, and sabotage operations launched from Gulf territories.
The infiltration of these capitals by Mossad and CIA officers has not only threatened Iran but has also stripped the Gulf states of their internal security, turning them into “subcontractors” for the Zionist project.
Media Disinformation: Gulf Mouthpieces with a Zionist Tongue
In parallel with the military aggression, Gulf-funded media outlets launched a fierce psychological and disinformation campaign.
Channels like Al-Arabiya and Sky News Arabia have become mere echo chambers of statements from the Israeli army spokesperson and the Pentagon, deliberately ignoring the realities on the ground documented by Iranian drones and missiles striking deep within the aggressor’s bases and the heart of the Zionist entity.
This media has not only distorted the facts but has also worked to demonize Iran’s defensive response and portray the brutal Zionist aggression as heroic acts, in a blatant attempt to brainwash the public, justify betrayal, and legitimize the American and Zionist military presence as an inevitable fate.
Integration of Fronts: Unity of Destiny from Gaza to Tehran
The current military escalation has proven that the battle against hegemony is indivisible. Gulf support for the Zionist-American alliance in its aggression against Iran is an extension of the same approach that abandons Gaza and remains silent about the genocide of the Palestinian people.
The unity of the fronts, embodied in the resistance’s response from Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, coinciding with the Iranian defense, has disrupted the calculations of the aggressors.
The war has revealed that the bases used to strike Tehran are the same ones that provide logistical cover for the Zionist entity in its crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, confirming that any Gulf conspiracy against Iran is a stab in the back of Jerusalem.
The Requirements of Sovereignty and the Responsibility of History
A thorough analysis of the American-Zionist aggression confronts the Gulf regimes with the mirror of truth: “Subservience to the occupier does not protect thrones.”
Transforming Arab lands into launching pads for aggression and subjugating national armies to protect American bases will not bring security. Rather, it will make these regimes complicit in the historic defeat of the Zionist project.
History will record that sovereignty is not begged for, but seized by breaking free from the shackles of humiliating dependency.
The future of the region hinges on sweeping away foreign bases and uprooting dens of espionage, and building a regional alliance based on dignity and a shared destiny, far removed from being a “functional tool” in the hands of an alliance that seeks to tear the nation apart and plunder its resources.
