Amidst the ongoing tension in West Asia, a shocking claim has emerged that can completely change the strategic picture of the entire Middle East. According to a report by the prestigious media organization ‘Wall Street Journal’ (WSJ), two small Gulf countries Bahrain and Kuwait have secretly entered inside Iran this month and carried out dangerous air strikes on its military bases.
Small Gulf countries came face to face for the first time
If this claim proves to be completely true, then this will be the first time in history that these two small Gulf countries have taken any major military action directly against Iran. According to the reports, in these secret attacks, drone and missile storage sites built inside Iran as well as many other important military bases have been mainly targeted. In fact, till now it has been seen that whenever Iran had to harm the strategic interests of America, it used to target the military bases built in these Gulf countries, but now the tables seem to be turning.
UAE played a big and important role behind the scenes
The biggest and shocking revelation in this sensational report has been made regarding the United Arab Emirates i.e. UAE. The report shows that even though the UAE itself did not directly carry out the bombing with its planes, it was the UAE itself that provided very accurate intelligence about Iranian targets for this entire operation. Additionally, it also provided defensive air cover to aircraft from Bahrain and Kuwait during the mission. It is clear that instead of directly attacking, UAE has played the role of a very important and strategic ally in this entire secret operation.
Despite having small air forces, both countries showed great strength
In terms of military strength, the air forces of Bahrain and Kuwait are quite small in size and are mainly equipped with American and European fighter aircraft. Despite this, both these countries have taken a big risk by entering inside Iran and taking such dangerous action. It has been told in the report that after continuous threats and attacks from Iran in recent times, both these countries have now taken a tough decision to change their old policy. Let us tell you that till now Bahrain and Kuwait, like Oman and Qatar, had always avoided any kind of direct conflict or mess with Iran.
Saudi Arabia also changed its strategy
It has also been claimed in this entire report that in the initial phase of the conflict, Saudi Arabia, along with the UAE, had also taken part in some activities against Iran. However, now Saudi Arabia is reconsidering its further strategy in view of the entire situation. That is, while on one hand Bahrain and Kuwait are seen openly coming out on this front against Iran for the first time, on the other hand Saudi Arabia is currently moving very cautiously and is considering its next decision.
Iran’s big counterattack and claims to target American bases
On the other hand, amid this whole incident, Iran has also made a big claim on Friday saying that it has targeted American military bases located in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan for its attacks. Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards have claimed a powerful attack on the US military base in Bahrain. Apart from this, Camp Udairi, Camp Doha, Camp Arifjan and Ali Al Salem Air Base located in Kuwait have also been targeted through drone attacks, which has further deepened the threat of war in West Asia.
