Geopolitical analyst and commentator Ehasn Safar-nejad explains how a number of Persian Gulf states are complicit in the US aggression against Iran.

Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters says any source of support for the “aggressor US army” will be considered a legitimate target for Iranian Armed Forces.

Persian Gulf states' hostile proxy tactics, driven by US pressure to challenge Iran's post-war ascendancy, demand Iran's decisive strategic response – diplomatic exclusion, Strait of Hormuz leverage, and Resistance Front consolidation – to permanently end their era of dual alignment against their permanent neighbor.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan held a phone call on Wednesday to discuss regional developments.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran’s armed forces are conducting legitimate self‑defense strikes on sites in the Persian Gulf region used by the United States to attack civilian shipping and violate the ceasefire.

The spokesman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has warned the Persian Gulf Arab states that they have to expel the American troops stationed there before any aggressive US action against Iran.

The United States reportedly approves sales of thousands of interceptor missiles and related services worth $17 billion to Kuwait, the UAE and Bahrain.
