Diplomats said optimistic coalition that foiled Iran’s April attack can be reassembled
The Kan public broadcast quotes unnamed Western diplomats estimating that the same regional coalition that helped repel Iran’s direct drone and missile attack in April can be put together again to thwart a potential attack.
There is “intensive work” being done on the matter and chances are good that the collaboration will happen again if Iran attacks, since “everyone has an interest in the incident not evolving into a regional war.”
The coalition that foiled the April attack consisted of Israel, the United States, Britain, France, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
