Despite the appeal of US President Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia refused to give the Thaad Air Defense Interceptor to Israel. This shocking revelation has been revealed in the report from the Middle East. In fact, in June, there was a huge missile attacks on Israel by Iran, which led to weakening Israel’s air defense system. America feared that this could also dangerly decrease the number of interceptors of them. In such a situation, America sought help from its allies. Especially from Saudi Arabia, who has purchased the Thaad system.
America has made this appeal to Saudi
According to the report, the US asked Saudi to share Thaad interceptor, but Riyadh flatly refused. US officials told Middle East Eye that they had sought help from many countries, but Saudi Arabia was best suited for help. On July 3, Saudi Arabia officially turned on its first Thaad battery. This is the same system he bought himself. This battery was started when a ceasefire came into force between Israel and Iran.
During the crisis, the US also asked for an interceptor from UAE, but it was not clear whether it helped Israel or not. Iran had directly attacked several military bases in Israel, exposing the serious flaws of the security system there. Experts believe that the US and Israel have high -tech air defense systems, but these systems also started getting tired between such fast missiles and drone attacks.
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries made distance from war
At the same time, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries kept distance from this whole war. Now these countries feel that they corrected the relationship with Iran. According to the report of Middle East Eye, one Arab diplomat said, “If we look at our perspective, this war ended well for us. Israel has now to pay the real price of fighting a strong country for the first time.”
Now that the Israeli is re -evaluation of its security strategy after the Iranian attacks, Iran is strengthening its air defense capacity with the help of China. On the other hand, the inclination of Saudi Arabia can now move towards Turkas and possibly towards Iran.
