Moreover, the UAE government issued a statement urging for an end to the rising tensions in the region following the US attacks.
Similarly, Saudi Arabia reported that no radioactive effects were detected in the Gulf area post-strikes, helping to reassure the Gulf states amidst concerns about nuclear fallout.
Iran’s Position
In response to the military escalation, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reportedly taking shelter in a bunker, has begun naming potential successors, underscoring the gravity of the situation within Iranian leadership circles.
