I agree none of them will ever really be our allies. The problem is that some of them are thinking about kicking our military bases out of their countries right now. Oman and Bahrain are seriously thinking about it.
And you know that how? Please enlighten us, and use some citations. Thank you.
I'm not going to go dig the posts up on X but its easy to find them. Both Oman and Bahrain news stories have been reporting that they are considering Iran's ideas for taking control of the strait and sharing toll fees. Bahrain and Oman are majority Shia populations and this war is causing them a lot of stress. Despite the pretty good deal they have with the US right now, they very well could change their minds.
