Following the Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and military leadership, many Arab states are expressing alarm and criticizing Israel. This includes close Western partners such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. In Jordan, Iranian drones that entered the country's airspace were intercepted by air defenses. Civilian air traffic was temporarily suspended for security reasons, as was the case in Lebanon and Iraq. Saudi Arabia calls Israel's actions a "clear violation of international law." Egypt, Oman, and Lebanon also warn of a regional escalation. In Yemen, the Houthi militias threatened consequences. They have already attacked Israel with drones and missiles in the past.
