Explain something to me I read somewhere that Jordan is assisting Israel and it looks like most Arab nations are being Stevie Wonder to the goings on …..
Why is that?
The Arab nations hate Iran more than they hate Israel. Countries like Saudia Arabia and the UAE etc are dead scared of the potential of Iran getting nuclear weapons too.
To clarify before I go forward and I will bold this.
Israel is wrong for attacking Iran, and ofcourse wrong for what they are doing in Gaza. Israel is committing genocide while the world watches. This is not even close to me supporting Israel.
That said though, shit is nuanced here as it usually always is. Iran isn't a innocent ass nation that loves peace either. They are just as fucked up as Israel and consistently hang minorities for asking for civil rights. That's a long ass discussion I won't get into here either. Just want to point out that Iran is also a war mongering nation that would also commit genocide if they could, but they just don't have the backing off the US to do so.
Now that disclaimer is out of the way. Here is the short version to answer your question. First is, Iran is the seat of Shiite Islam power in the middle east. The Arab countries mentioned are all Sunnis. There is a historical distrust there after 1500 years of fighting.
But looking at the current day, these Arabs countries all treat Shiites like 3rd class citizens. Iran though has proxy armies everywhere of Shiites ready to fight. Hezbollah in lebanon, the militias in Iraq, the Alewites in Syria, the Houthis in Yemen, all the way to Boko Haram and other groups in Africa. These proxy armies keep the Sunni Arab countries shook because they can always be used to destabilize whatever country Iran wants them too.
Now you add Iran having nuclear weapons, and the power balance shifts drastically and Iran can basically tell Saudia Arabia and the rest to eat a dick and put more influence on the Shiites living in those countries.
That's why these Arab countries are saying Israel must be stopped in public, but they are supporting Israel attacking Iran in private.
