re: Gulf Allies Warn US Not To Launch Strikes On Iran From Their Territory

I ‘member when tore Soleimani a literal new arse and Iran called Trump and said “sir if it meets with your approval and in order to keep up appearances with our peoples, we must act tough and maybe shoot some rockets at the waste landfill at one of your bases…..but only with plenty enough notice for you to move all personnel far out of harm’s way. We do apologize for the inconvenience, Your Excellency.”

True story. Every single word of it, more or less.
