Arab monarchies allied with the United States have issued strong condemnations against Iranian missile attacks targeting U.S. military installations in their territories, yet they are choosing a measured response to avoid engaging in what they perceive as a conflict between Washington and Tehran. The message from capitals such as Doha, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Amman is unified: they do not wish to escalate the situation further into a regional war. The Iranian strikes have reportedly targeted bases in key locations including Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Jordan, but local authorities have confirmed that the missiles have either been intercepted or have caused limited damage thus far.
