The Trump administration is confronting mounting discontent from allies in the Persian Gulf who have complained they were not given adequate time to prepare for the torrent of Iranian drones and missiles bombarding their countries in retaliation for strikes launched by the U.S. and Israel.

Officials from two Gulf countries said their governments were disappointed in the way the U.S. has handled the war, particularly the initial attack on Iran last Saturday. They said their countries were not given advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli attack and complained the U.S. had ignored their warnings that the war would have devastating consequences for the entire region.

    Bibi wants to go back to being our only option over there, and he’s clearly willing to make everyone else hate America to accomplish that

    The US doesn’t need any help on that front.

      The countries that were giving trump planes a year ago are now “rethinking their investments in regards to America”.

      I guarantee without Bibi those countries would still have a positive view of trump

      Rationale companies already hated him, this is making far right authoritarian dictators hate him too.

      Leaving Israel as our only ally in the region in an attempt to guarantee support even after trump leaves office.
