After the U.S. bombed Iran’s nuclear sites with Israel’s support, Saudi Arabia and other Arab Gulf countries expressed deep concern. They fear the attack could lead to a wider war in the region. These countries worry about being caught in the middle if Iran retaliates by targeting U.S. bases or closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil exports. Gulf leaders did not support the strike and have called for calm and restraint from all sides. They are also worried about disruptions to trade, energy supplies, and the safety of their people. Many Gulf states now face rising security risks and possible pressure from both Iran and the U.S. Though no radiation leaks have been reported, fear and uncertainty remain high. Arab leaders seek to avoid war and are advocating for diplomatic solutions. They are watching closely to see how Iran responds and how the situation develops in the coming days.
Pray for divine protection and peace to prevail in Arab nations and the Middle East region, from war and economic uncertainty. Pray for the heightened security system in the region to safeguard the safety of all innocent civilians (The Holy Bible, Psalm 57:1).
Pray for divine peace between Israel and Iran. Pray for the international leaders to take immediate action to end the conflict between the two countries (The Holy Bible, Matthew 5:9).
