US EditionGulf allies complain US didn’t notify them of Iran attacks and ignored their warnings: AP
Gulf states say the US ignored their warnings before the Feb. 28 strike and left them vulnerable as Iran launched over 1,480 drones and 380 missiles in retaliation, officials said.
- On Feb. 28, Gulf officials said they received no advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli strike, leaving them unprepared and prompting criticism of the Trump administration.
- Since the start of the war, Iranian forces have targeted five Arab Gulf countries, with officials aware of their significant strike capabilities, but not certain Tehran would use them.
- The strikes have caused civilian and diplomatic casualties, including six U.S. soldiers killed in Kuwait when an Iranian drone hit an operations center in a civilian port, plus fires at the U.S. embassy in Riyadh and U.S. consulate in Dubai.
- Advisers warn Gulf states will shoulder the immediate costs as they face economic damage and instability, while the U.S. sought help from Ukraine to counter Shahed drones.
- Pentagon officials told lawmakers on Tuesday that they struggle to stop waves of Iranian drones, leaving some U.S. targets vulnerable while failing to explain the lack of preparedness.
