Are Middle East countries and Europe following US instructions in condemning Iran?

War and conflict
#1

What we’ve seen in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Morocco, other countries in the region is statements utterly failing to condemn the US and Israeli aggression, but vigorously condeming Iran for responding. Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Marachi has been pointing out on American TV that these countries have been allowing the US to use their territories to lauunch a war of aggression against Iran, and they were responding against the US bases, so we have to do that in self defence.
And we’ve seen almost verbatim responses from European countries; France, Germany, Britain and others, with the exception of Spain.

I’m staying away from the news if possible but did laugh, hollowly, at John Healey’s description of Iran’s “indiscriminate” “attacks”.
Focus is entirely on the framed villains, business as usual really.

Will the powers-that-should-not-be declare emergencies, enact rationing to prevent panic buying (only four pints for you, PIP claimant, toddle off home now, etc), while offering brotherly hugs to our frightened Hebrew neighbours?

Well, yeah, but they were doing that anyway.

Disillusioning, in the truest sense
