The exact number of countries implementing these restrictions remains unconfirmed.<\/p>\n<p>According to Politico, one official cited the specific reason behind the UAE&#8217;s actions as &#8220;they do not want to appear as if they are against Iran and do not want to appear too closely aligned with the West and Israel in the eyes of the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>American Bases in the Region For many years, the United States has deployed thousands of soldiers in bases in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and other sites throughout the Middle East and the Gulf.<\/p>\n<p>Since October 7th, these countries&#8217; involvement in facilitating American military operations has come under increased scrutiny.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5758\" style=\"width: 1366px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5758 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base.jpg\" alt=\"the American base\" width=\"1366\" height=\"910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/base-1200x799.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">the attack on the American base in Jordan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Across the region<\/h3>\n<p>Tehran and Washington compete to outmaneuver each other in a deadly proxy war. The conflict has taken on different flavors reflecting local and geopolitical realities.<\/p>\n<p>In Lebanon, the United States seeks to halt the escalation of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, as both sides are concerned about being drawn into a wider conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthi fighters in Yemen have made themselves targets for US airstrikes in response to their attacks on commercial shipping.<\/p>\n<p>However, the conflict may be at its most intense and complicated in Iraq \u2013 which is likely one of the countries mentioned in Politico&#8217;s report restricting American military activity.<\/p>\n<p>Renad Mansour, director of the Iraq Initiative at Chatham House, stated that the Iraqi government is weak and divided and fundamentally unable to control the conflict on its borders from foreign powers.<\/p>\n<p>Iraqi territory has emerged as a preferred battleground, where the United States and Iran can vie with each other. The risk of escalation here is less for both parties. They can demonstrate strength and compete for influence.<\/p>\n<h3>Red Sea Attacks<\/h3>\n<p>In January, the United States and the United Kingdom conducted airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen following a series of attacks on shipping in the Red Sea area.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden, in a statement, said the strikes were in response to the Houthis endangering navigation in one of the world&#8217;s most vital waterways, conducted in coordination with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, France, and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6191\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6191 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi.jpg\" alt=\"International law enforcement\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/houthi-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Houthi attacks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Biden stated: &#8220;These targeted strikes send a clear message thatand our partners will not tolerate attacks on our people or allow hostile entities to endanger navigation in one of the most important commercial waterways in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The United Kingdom and the United States have repeatedly warned the Houthis against attacking ships passing through the Red Sea, a vital shipping route, in protest of the Israeli war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Various shipping lines have suspended their operations and instead opted for longer voyages around Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-The newspaper &#8220;Politico&#8221; reported that several Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, are imposing restrictions on the United States&#8217; use of military bases within their territories to launch strikes against Iranian-affiliated groups.
