Superpower America requested for help, small country showed its defiance and put such a strange condition in return for help

News India Live, Digital Desk: America is feeling alone on the diplomatic front amid the ongoing military conflict with Iran. According to the latest news, a small but strategically important country in the Gulf region has not only taunted America over its appeal for help, but has also put a condition in return for the help which has put Washington into thinking. This incident shows that now even small countries are doing politics on their own terms instead of coming under the pressure of superpowers. “Stop using us”: A small country’s direct attack on America. According to reports, when American envoys asked this unnamed (but strategic) country for permission to use its missile defense system and military bases, the answer was quite sharp. That country’s leadership said, “America remembers us only in times of crisis, while the rest of the time our concerns are ignored.” This statement is being seen as America’s declining credibility in international circles. This small country has made it clear that it will allow America to use its bases only if America gives a written guarantee that in case of any retaliatory attack by Iran, it will take responsibility for the complete security of that country. Besides, there has also been a demand for financial assistance and transfer of state-of-the-art military technology. Experts believe that this condition has become a situation for America like ‘if you swallow it is poison, if you spit it out it’s a wound’. Iran’s threat or diplomatic opportunity? Iran has already warned that any country that allows America to use its bases will become a direct target of Iran’s missiles. Due to this fear and the impact of ‘Tanker War’, many countries are now hesitant in standing with America. They are trying to take advantage of this situation to get their old demands met by America. The equations are changing in the Middle East. This taunt is not just the voice of one country, but of many small nations who no longer want to become scapegoats in the battle of superpowers. The challenge for America now is not only to defeat Iran, but also to win the trust of its old friends who are now questioning its loyalty.
