I personally think they’re toast in the gulf, they’re out by hook or by crook, it’s only a matter of time. I read the pentagon estimates 10-12 billion USD to rebuild those bases and about 5-7 years to do so.

First of all, thank you for your comment and your subscribing.

Second, you are correct about the Gulf nations and the cost of rebuilding, which is, by the way, significantly higher than twelve billion

Many critics of Israel and its military strategy argue that the continuing conflict with Iran has become increasingly dangerous because of unwavering military backing from the United States. Opponents of American policy claim that billions in weapons, missile systems, intelligence cooperation, and diplomatic protection have allowed Israel to pursue increasingly aggressive regional actions without facing meaningful international pressure to de-escalate.

Opponents point to mounting civilian casualties, regional instability, and the widening risk of a broader Middle East war as evidence that endless military support is not producing peace, but prolonging confrontation. Some analysts have also warned that the scale of U.S. military involvement and missile defence support for Israel has strained American resources and increased fears of a much larger regional conflict.

Opponents of continued U.S. aid argue that Washington’s close alignment with Israel damages America’s credibility when speaking about human rights, international law, or democracy abroad. They believe the conflict increasingly resembles a cycle where overwhelming military force is repeatedly prioritised over diplomacy, ceasefires, or long-term political solutions.

Critics also argue that ordinary Americans are being drawn into costly geopolitical struggles through military spending, economic disruption, and rising instability in global energy markets. At the same time, political leaders continue defending policies that large parts of the international community oppose. Recent polling and political backlash suggest growing unease in several Western countries about deeper involvement in the Iran-Israel confrontation, particularly as fears rise over escalation, regional collapse, and the possibility of wider war.
