With Israel’s seeming invincibility to reach terror targets well beyond its borders, Iran has issued a request to its neighboring Arab states to close their airspace to potential Israeli operations.

“Iran made it clear that any action by a Persian Gulf country against Tehran, whether through the use of airspace or military bases, will be regarded by Tehran as an action taken by the entire group, and Tehran will respond accordingly,” a senior Iranian official tells Reuters.

“The message emphasized the need for regional unity against Israel and the importance of securing stability,” he said. “Any assistance to Israel is unacceptable.”

Iran’s warning follows recent discussions at an Asia conference in Qatar, where Gulf states sought to reassure Iran of their neutrality. Given that several Arab countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, host US military facilities, their allegiances play a key role in Iran’s war of annihilation against Israel.

Meanwhile, the US and the Arab world have reportedly initiated secret negotiations with Iran, aiming for a simultaneous ceasefire across all war zones.

“We are currently in a position of power,” an Israeli official tells Channel 12 News. “A ceasefire will be on our terms, including a Hezbollah withdrawal beyond the Litani River and the dismantling of all military Hezbollah sites in areas near the border.”

While Israel is not directly participating in these talks, high-ranking officials have been briefed on the developments. However, analysts caution that a deal in the near future will likely remain unlikely as long as Hamas refuses to budge from their outrageous demands.
