As Peter replied, the Sunni vs Shia aspect plays in. Yet I would say fear of Iran being untouchable because they have nuclear weapons, and their stated willingness to use them is the biggest driver of Arab silence.
When President Trump made his Middle East trip earlier you could see and feel a temperature change in the countries he visited. This was a very difficult decision, if we sit and watch, a nuclear warhead powered Iran makes the world 100x more dangerous and difficult in many ways. There is no retaliatory action like this if they have a nuclear weapon. Keep your head on a swivel and be ready for some disgusting terrorism acts as part of their response to this bombing. I know in my heart there was more thought put in to all of the possible scenarios this action could bring than anyone could ever imagine. Time is now our window to look forward and see how all this unfolds. Hopefully with a little hardships as possible. Greatly enjoyed your perspective.
Rumor has it that US technology allows all bombs to play the Eddie Money song “Two Tickets to Paradise” as they approach their targets! KaBoom 💥 The world is a safer place today and the Iranian military must realize that they continue to exist only because the US and Israel allow them to exist.
I suspect the silence from the rest of the Arab world may be due to some extent to the fact they are Sunnis and the Persians are Shias.
I agree. That's certainly one factor.
