The Sunni Arab world is fed up with Iran’s decades-long meddling in Arab affairs and in creating parallel power centers in the region. While they might condemn Israel’s aggression publicly, they are quietly praying for Israel’s success.
But now, these fronts have been decimated. The Hamas in Gaza and the Hezbollah in Lebanon have been battered, while the Assad regime has been toppled in Syria. Neither Turkiye nor Azerbaijan will intervene actively in support of Iran.
At the same time, Iran, with a depleted air force, destroyed air defence systems, and defanged proxies in the region except for the Houthis in Yemen, will find it hard to sustain the high-intensity conflict. Iran has also reached out to its Gulf neighbours, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, to urge Trump to get Israel to agree to an immediate ceasefire. Instead, Trump has asked Iranians to flee Tehran, indicating that a major strike is imminent.

Isolated? Whether it’s Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates or whatnot they all take US dollars and have US bases to protect their highly unpopular kingdoms. A few nations beholden to Uncle Sam means Jack Shit.Go ask the Global South their opinion. Or ask BRICS members and aspiring members. I’m pretty sure Israel will be viewed as a pariah state.
Shitites are being slaughtered in Pigistan and Alawites are being slaughtered in Syria and this is nothing new as it is as old as the Shitite-Sunni power struggle from when Mad Mo died over 1300 years ago and who was chosen to lead the ummah and I couldn’t care less about the internecine power struggles across the islamic world because whoever wins the kuffar always lose.
