The Gulf countries may retaliate if Iran attacks continue, Turkey says

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has stated that Gulf countries have issued their "last warnings" to Iran and may be forced to retaliate if attacks on their infrastructure continue. Following a regional summit in Riyadh, Fidan conveyed that Gulf states feel unjustly targeted in the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Tehran, as they are not a party to the war. The warning was prompted by recent Iranian missile and drone attacks on the Saudi capital, as well as strikes on Qatari gas facilities and Saudi oil infrastructure. This escalation has reportedly led Saudi Arabia to agree to open an air base to the US, signaling a significant shift in the regional response to the conflict.
