US: Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia Provided Air Defense Support

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Caine said allied nations including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia have joined the US response as Iranian threats escalate.

"Our allies have been responding together as the threat from Iran has grown," Caine said at a press conference held at the Pentagon on the 2nd (local time) with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the first since the airstrikes on Iran.

"Their air defense batteries joining the fight proves that years of training, trust, and integration have borne fruit," he added.
