Gulf Nations Express Frustration Over Lack of Notice on Iran Strikes

Several Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain, have expressed growing frustration with the United States over a lack of prior warning before the joint U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran. These countries criticized the U.S. for poor communication and insufficient defense support, noting that their interceptor stockpiles are rapidly depleting and that American defenses are primarily focused on Israel and U.S. troops, not on defending Gulf allies.
