Middle Eastern Allies Unite to Defend Israel from Iranian Threat

After Iran's failed attack on Israel was thwarted with the help of the United States and its Middle Eastern allies, an uneasy alliance of Arab states including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates may soon be tested as Israel considers its response. The recent cooperation against Iran has the potential to be damaging domestically for these Arab countries, especially for Jordan, which finds itself trapped between Iran and Israel. The participation of these Arab states in Israel's defense signals a new realignment in the Middle East, with their reliance on American and Israeli support becoming increasingly apparent.
