Both voices argued that regional security lies not in appeasing Iran but in partnership with Israel.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Saudi journalist Abdulaziz Al-Hameed and Bahraini commentator Ahdeya Ahmed have expressed sharp criticism of President Trump's approach to Iran, warning that Tehran is already turning its survival into a propaganda victory, according to a report published by The Zioneer. The two Arab voices argued that missiles threatening the Gulf come from Tehran, not Jerusalem, and that the future of regional security lies in partnership with Israel — the only power willing and able to confront the Iranian threat. The analysis adds to a growing chorus of Arab-world commentary reassessing the U.S. role in the region. As The Zioneer previously reported, multiple Israeli and Arab analysts have warned that Washington's perceived weakness is driving a wedge between Israel and the U.S. and empowering Iran's diplomatic campaign.
