Trump insults, abuses and disregards his allies, threatens to invade them, starts trade war against them, starts a bombing war without consultation...

[King Billy]

It's never stopped Arab countries invading Israel.

When and who last invaded Israel, unprovoked?

They are, Israel, UAE, Saudi, Jordan.

Saudis had never advocated the Israel/USA bombing. They have recently denied Trump the use of it's airspace, the US bases in SA, to support the blockade.
Saudis also cancelled the accord with Israel on the beginning of the Iran attack.
We don't know which other countries also objected.
UAE has quit OPEC, and is considering leaving the Arab League. The relations between UAE and Israel have become strained.

Iran is an outlier in the ME, the largest sponsor of State terrorism and a country sworn to the destruction of Israel and the USA.

Iran has Qatar and Pakistan as an ally and the other Middle Eastern countries do not want conflict with Iran.

If countries were concerned about the collapse of the world economy they'd do something about it, they're clearly not concerned, or certainly not as concerned as you.

Not so concerned as to join in with a military unprovoked attack, which breaks UN tenets, on another country.
Other countries much prefer a diplomatic approach.

Most of the Middle East wants Iran 'sorted', Turkey might be an ally at a push but the only allies Iran has are China and Russia, both of whom have been supplying arms.

You do know that Iran attacked Qatar in February 2026 don't you?

Yom Kippur war, 1973, Egypt and Syria, Gaza/Hamas October 7th 2023.

Not an unprovoked attack. They were trying to regain territory taken by Israel.

The Yom Kippur War, also known as the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria. Most of the fighting occurred in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, territories occupied by Israel in 1967.

The October 7 attack was reprisals for the violence inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

2022
Deadly Year in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Israel launches a counterterrorism operation in the West Bank in response to attacks by Palestinians against Jewish Israelis. The operation and resulting resurgence contribute to the deadliest year for both sides since 2005, an uptick in violence that only turned out to rise in 2023.

Rubbish.

The latest information refers to a few of days ago.

A refusal by Saudi Arabia to allow the US to use its bases and airspace to provide a military escort for oil tankers passing through the strait of Hormuz lay behind Donald Trump’s decision to shelve the plan days after it had been launched.

Most of the Middle East wants Iran 'sorted',

All of the Middle East, except for Israel, wants peace in the region.

Saudi Arabia: Riyadh is heavily focused on domestic economic transformation (Vision 2030) and wants broader Gulf stability. While open to integrating with Israel, they condition full diplomatic normalization and joining the Abraham Accords on the establishment of a clear, independent Palestinian state.
United Arab Emirates (UAE) & Bahrain: ... are heavily involved in funding Gaza reconstruction and pushing for a lasting regional de-escalation.
Qatar regularly engages in diplomatic talks with the US, Iran, and various militant groups to secure hostage releases, manage ceasefires, and advance broader peace frameworks
Egypt & Jordan: ... are focused on preventing the displacement of Palestinians, securing humanitarian aid delivery, and ensuring two-state solutions that guarantee regional security.
Turkey : Turkey has actively endorsed Board of Peace frameworks and worked alongside powers like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to foster regional defense talks, permanent ceasefires, and long-term stability for Gaza.

Turkey might be an ally at a push but the only allies Iran has are China and Russia, both of whom have been supplying arms.

Qatar and Pakistan have been long term sympathisers of Iran.

As of May 2026, Iran's key state-level allies in the Arab world are Syria and Iraq. While not formally aligned, other countries like Qatar have maintained close working relationships with Tehran. Furthermore, major regional rivals like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have recently strengthened diplomatic ties, with some supporting Iran against Israeli attacks, although not serving as traditional allies.

Pakistan has also provided support to Iran in the Iran–Israel proxy conflict

Get yourself up-to-date.

You do know that Iran attacked Qatar in February 2026 don't you?

Yes, they attacked US bases, i.e. US allies, in several neighbouring countries.

Analysts believe Tehran is trying to exert pressure on the US amid peace negotiations by attacking American allies in the Gulf region,

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have lifted ‌restrictions on the U.S. military’s use of their bases and ⁠airspace that were imposed after the launch of a U.S. operation to reopen the Strait of ‌Hormuz, ⁠the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing ⁠U.S. and Saudi officials.

They held onto a few areas from previous invasions by the Arab nations.

So your saying if Russia bombed a US airbase in Suffolk we shouldn't be concerned because it's a US airbase rather than sovereign UK?, OK.

And then President Xi said..."Hey Don how is your stupid war going in Iran...."

"...On Tuesday, the US president departed for his trip, during which he is expected to discuss the Iran war with China's President Xi Jinping.
However, as he left the White House, the US president claimed he wouldn't need to talk about the conflict with Xi..."

Someone needs to tell Don not to bother worrying about humiliation and embarrassment on the world stage.

From my link:

You're out-of-date, with your unverified reports, by about 25 minutes. So their "lifted" restrictions lasted only 5 days. Do try to keep up.

They held onto a few areas from previous invasions by the Arab nations.

Rubbish.

The defining parameters established in the aftermath of the war include:

• UN Security Council Resolution 242: Passed unanimously in November 1967, this resolution established the "land for peace" formula. It called for Israeli withdrawal from territories occupied in the conflict and the termination of all claims or states of belligerency, recognizing the right of every state in the area to live in peace within secure boundaries

Israel did not comply with the UN Resolution, as usual. Hence the attack by Syria, et al in 1973, to regain territory not returned under UN Resolution 242.
Israel continues to demonstrate its disrespect for UN Resolutions repeatedly.

So your saying if Russia bombed a US airbase in Suffolk we shouldn't be concerned because it's a US airbase rather than sovereign UK?, OK.

You've got that arris-about-face. Having any other nation's air base in our sovereign territory, which we allow them to use to launch attacks, means we have been and are an ally of that nation. We would be complicit in any attacks.
So the US airbases in other countries that US uses to launch attacks automatically means those other countries are allies of US.
They could prevent US from using those bases to minimise that "alliance" complicity.
If Russia attacked a US airbase that was in UK, we should be concerned because we were automatically an ally of US, because we allowed the US to launch attacks from or territory. Therefore we would be complicit.

I'm a damn sight more clued up about the Middle East than you are Himmy.

You're so Clouseau'd up you're addressing a ghost of the past.

The United Nations Definition of Aggression confirms that a state must not allow ‘territory placed at the disposal of another state to be used by that other state for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third state’.
Still, by giving in to the initial US request, the UK would have risked assuming a share of the international legal responsibility for the attacks against Iran. Iran invoked its right to self-defence in response to the US attacks, announcing that ‘all bases, facilities, and assets of the hostile forces in the region shall be regarded as legitimate military objectives within the framework of Iran’s lawful exercise of self-defense.’
However, that would only be lawful if these facilities on the territory of third states were indeed all involved in the conflict.

Indeed...

Israel continues to demonstrate its disrespect for UN Resolutions repeatedly.

On Monday, the European Union agreed on a new set of sanctions targeting violent Israeli settlers in the West Bank, as well as Hamas officials. The move was rejected by the Israeli government, with Foreign Minister Gideon Saar saying the sanctions were “without any basis”.

However, the facts on the ground tell a different story.

According to local Palestinian activist networks, settlers, some of whom were armed, hiked through the villages of Abwein and Jilijliya, near Ramallah, occupying the Ein Sala spring and denying residents access. In Jalud, in the northern West Bank, settlers used bulldozers to uproot hundreds of olive trees overnight. In Deir Istiya, in Salfit governorate, settlers established a new outpost on land belonging to an Islamic religious endowment, extending a water pipeline from the nearby Revava settlement through Palestinian olive groves.
