Arab states will likely cooperate with the U.S., Israel, if Iran attacks

Asher Fredman: Arab states such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia will likely take part in U.S.-led efforts to counter an Iranian missile attack against Israel, not in order to defend Israel, but because they strongly oppose Iranian threats to their sovereignty and stability. 

Looking forward, regional cooperation in countering Iran’s attacks highlights the potential utility and mutual benefit of an enhanced Middle East security architecture, encompassing air and missile defense, maritime and cyber security, R&D and more.
