Arab countries have restricted the US from using their territory to attack certain countries.

 Politico wrote Wednesday night that the U.S. has stationed thousands of troops at facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries, and the role of Arab countries in U.S. military activities has come under scrutiny since the Oct. 7 war between Israel and Hamas. last year. The US outlet quoted a US official, a congressional aide and two Western officials, who asked not to be identified, as saying that some Arab countries, including the UAE, were increasingly limiting the US ability to carry out retaliatory attacks. A U.S. official said that as civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip mounted, some Arab countries, including those "trying to de-escalate tensions with Iran," have "overly restricted" the freedom of the U.S. and its partners to conduct operations from their soil. . He added that this restriction includes retaliatory strikes in Iraq, Syria and Yemen, and some Arab countries have restricted the deployment of military equipment and the flights of aircraft involved in these attacks in their airspace. It is unclear how many countries have taken such measures. A Western official said the reason for the UAE's actions was that "they don't want to appear too close to the West and Israel and against Iran in the eyes of public opinion." Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE hosts dozens of American aircraft, including F-16, F-15, F35 fighter jets and MQ-9 drones, which have participated in American military operations in the region. Washington recently attacked Syria and Iraq in response to the death of three soldiers from that country from rocket fire at a US military base in Jordan. US military bases in Iraq and Syria have been under attack from drones, rockets and missiles since October 17th. Islamic resistance groups in the West Asia (Middle East) region, including Iraq and Syria, as well as Yemeni forces responding to the Israeli regime's actions against Operation Al-Aqsa Storm and the bombing of the Gaza Strip and Washington's support for these attacks, more than once warned the United States that American bases in the region would come under attack.
