Middle East scholar Dr. Edy Cohen assesses that Arab states are reacting to the ongoing Iran-US war with fear of the Iranian regime's collapse and a desire to avoid direct conflict, according to a post circulated on Israeli channels.
Middle East scholar Dr. Edy Cohen published a new assessment Thursday morning of Arab world reactions to the ongoing Iran-US war, stating that Arab states do not want the Iranian regime to fall and are afraid of the conflict. The remarks were posted on Israeli social media channels.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, Cohen has long argued that Gulf states fear a full-scale war and would rather see the Iranian regime survive than risk confrontation. In earlier assessments, he noted that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have repeatedly acted to shield Iran from the consequences of its aggression, including by paying 'protection money' to avoid conflict.
The latest statement comes as the Iran-US military confrontation continues, with regional powers weighing their responses. Cohen's analysis suggests that, despite the escalating conflict, the Arab world remains primarily concerned with its own stability and prefers to avoid direct involvement.
