I think the Arabs are going to join the fight.

I think you're going to see a coalition between the United States and the Arab world to take on the Iranian regime, which would be breathtaking.

The fact that we're going to work together potentially with the Arabs to liberate the Iranian people is unbelievable. I think that is coming.

🇦🇪🇶🇦🇸🇦🇮🇷The Gulf countries have declared a "right to respond" to Iran's strikes on their territory.

They made this statement following a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The document states that the Council's member states reserve the right to individual and collective self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter. This means the possibility of both independent and joint actions within the framework of a joint defense agreement.

It is emphasized that the security of the Council's countries is "indivisible", and any attack on one of them is considered an attack on all the states of the union.

The statement also notes that "all necessary measures" will be taken to protect sovereignty, security, and stability.

At the same time, the meeting participants called for an immediate cessation of attacks and stressed the importance of a diplomatic settlement.
