Being an accomplice and being double standards, the Gulf countries jointly condemned Iran: violation of sovereignty, violating international law
The Gulf Cooperation Council has stood on the opposite side of Iran.
The GCC is a regional organization composed of Gulf countries, covering political and economic fields. These countries are the ones targeted by Iran in the past two days, accurately speaking, the U.S. military bases located in these countries were attacked by Iran.
The GCC expressed strong dissatisfaction with the attack on its territory, condemning Iran for violating its national sovereignty and international law, and demanding that Iran immediately stop attacking any targets within its territory, otherwise the GCC member states will take "all necessary measures" for self-defense.
This statement is somewhat hypocritical. If the Gulf countries had refused to allow the U.S. to launch attacks against Iran from their own country, they would not have been retaliated against. The Gulf countries have the right of self-defense, and so does Iran.
Moreover, when Israel attacked Hamas leaders in Qatar last year, Qatar didn't retaliate, but only made a few light condemnations and then there was no further action. Why is it that when it comes to Iran, they are willing to use all means?
Additionally, according to reports by U.S. media, Crown Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia has been secretly advising Trump to strike Iran, not allowing Iran to continue to grow stronger, otherwise both the United States and other Middle Eastern countries would face threats.
Saudi denied this claim, but the outside world still has doubts. After all, from a religious perspective, Saudi Arabia and Iran are natural enemies, and Sunnis definitely do not want Iran to become stronger.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia and Iran have achieved a historic reconciliation under the leadership of China, and according to the rules, they should not act behind the scenes. Moreover, a big mess in the Middle East is not beneficial to Saudi Arabia, even if they can't stand Iran's strength, they shouldn't encourage Trump to strike Iran.
However, it is certain that regardless of whether Iran has attacked the U.S. military bases in the Gulf countries, they are unlikely to stand on Iran's side. After all, once the U.S. goes to war, the Gulf countries will inevitably become accomplices.
