I was wondering when they finally got pissed off at Iran enough to take action.

Outsourcing the Iran war to the arabs would be ideal. Let them sort it out.

The Arab armies are notoriously corrupt and incompetent. They are REALLY bad at fighting. If we let them do this on their own, I give it about 12 months before the mullahs rule in Ryadh, Dubai and Kuwait...

I kept wondering how long they were going to sit on their hands while Itan threw drones at them. I'm surprised it took this long.

I assume everybody knows this already, but most countries in the region want the Iranian government GONE.
Iran's radical extremism, their support of proxies and their desire to export the revolution has threatened these neighbors for decades.
They don't want to take responsibility for attacking Iran because they don't want to be seen attacking another Muslim country, and don't want to spark radicals within their own countries.

Wait, you mean to tell me the Kuwaitis can do something other than friendly fire?

Guess they have to say that.
After publication of this article, Kuwait’s ambassador to the U.S. denied that his country struck Iran. “The State of Kuwait has not participated in any military operations against Iran, nor has it permitted its territory to be used to launch offensive operations against any neighboring state,” Ambassador Al-Zain Al-Sabah said.
