Does Iran have any real Middle East countries left on its side?

The Houthis are a rebel force with no recognition. Hezbollah is a rebel force with no right hand due to pagers. Hamas is a rebel force with all leaders on the execute board. Kuwait, Iraqi, Dubai, UAE, Yemen, Oman, Pakistan, Jorden, Turkey, Afganistan, Egypt, are all pissed off at Iran. You would think Iran diplomates trying to attend the annual Muslim Brotherhood meeting would want to watch their back. Is there any Muslim state that supports Iran?

No body hates them enough to put troops on the ground which is the core problem.

All the other countries hate the Israelis as well, perhaps more than the Iranians.

That’s just laughable and thankfully for many among us their thoughts and beliefs can’t be attributed back to them in this anonymous setting.

And on a side note, not a flame towards any person in particular, just a general comment: while technically not being a representation of one’s actual beliefs and sentiments, even mere trolling will permanently destroy brain cells you might actually still have.

So why aren’t we just bombing them into submission? We’re in dick-around mode, where we just keep throwing away money. If we’re gonna spend it, let’s make it worth it.

I think we actually ran low on drones missles and smart bombs. You certainly wouldn't tell anyone.

Ruling factions maybe not out in the open but Qatar allows Iran and its terrorist allies refuge. Most ME countries have tribes that side with Iran, even in Saudi

The Houthis control most of Yemen and are wrecking Saudi Arabia at the moment

Exactly. This is more reason why you don't go to war with Iran. Now, the whole region is on fire. Do we have the military assets and balance sheet to save the Saudis now?

Lots of people are completely ignorant to ME politics

Iran hasn't had many allies in the ME for some time. Russia was always their #1 ally and Iran was the one who supplied their proxies.

Iran and Saudi Arabia have been in a proxy war on and off in Yemen for like 10 years. Us starting war with Iran and SA coming at Iran gave Iran all the excuses to frick them up within SA.

What countries in the middle east do you think are big fans of Israel? They've been bombing civilian areas in Lebanaon. They're threatening war with Turkey. They've used their influence in the U.S. government to level most of Syria, supported regime change in Iraq, the Iranians are obvious, they've been talking about taking more land from Egypt. Exactly who do you think their friends are? The Qataris definitely aren't a fan. The Saudi Royal family plays along because of their alliances with the United States but Saudi citizens absolutely loathe the Israelis. Jordan has had a peace treaty since the 90s but they've been at war in the past also.

You might be under the impression that the Israelis are well loved in the middle east. But that would be a foolish notion.

Lol so you’ve conveniently shifted the goalposts to “big fans” of Israel eh? Not so subtle. No thanks, your hook’s too small for me. See I’m what you call a trophy fish.

And today in particular, for instance, I’d say Saudi Arabia is much less a fan of Iran than Israel. And remind me, who all has Iran struck militarily during this thing, as compared to Israel’s list??

All of those countries can't stand Israel

My casual description is not the fricking point here. You seem to have an almost unique ability to never get what the frick anyone is talking about. Which makes sense because you also conversely never make any sense with all of your word salad bullshite.

So you expect me to “get” blatantly wrong shite? And I don’t necessarily expect you and your friends to get the blatantly right shite from me and a handful of others that I’m sure mankind is thankful exist.

supported regime change in Iraq,


This is a lie because Israel believed Saddam held Iran in check.

Netanyahu may have been in favor of overthrowing Saddam, but he was a private citizen at the time

IMHO, all the mid east countries are ultimately on Iran's side, even the ones they bombed. Its just not said. (except Israel).. If Iran somehow snuck an atomic bomb into the US or sunk a carrier you would see every mid eastern country start cheering and supporting them. guarantee. You will start to see more and more videos from iran saying the army is starving and running away out of country etc. Its just bait they want Trump and his advisors to believe.
