A “stunning strategic miscalculation” by Iran\u2019s leadership could ultimately push several Gulf states<\/a> closer to formal ties with Israel, a former U.S. military official said Tuesday, arguing Tehran\u2019s broad attacks across the region have backfired and reshaped the Middle East\u2019s geopolitical landscape.<\/p>\n

The Gulf Cooperation Council “has already decried Iran and has already vowed to get back at Iran for this,” former CENTCOM Communications Director Joe Buccino told “Fox & Friends First.”<\/p>\n

“I think this could possibly set the Gulf states on path towards normalization with Israel, which would reset the region, particularly if you have a new leadership, a new regime, in Iran that’s not a hard-line regime.”<\/p>\n

The retired Army colonel’s comments came after Tehran launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. interests in neighboring countries in the region following the start of Operation Epic Fury on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Several Gulf states, including Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), intercepted hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones in the past four days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those countries, along with Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait, joined the United States in issuing a joint statement condemning Iran’s “indiscriminate and reckless” missile and drone strikes across the region.<\/p>\n

The statement said the strikes endangered civilians<\/u><\/a>, damaged infrastructure and violated the sovereignty of multiple states<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Retired Gen. Jack Keane addressed Gulf state pushback during a Fox News appearance, telling “Fox & Friends Weekend” that the conflict could escalate into a “regional war.”<\/p>\n

“This backfired on the Iranians\u2026” Keane said.<\/p>\n

“The Gulf states<\/u><\/a> are responding. They\u2019re adequately defending themselves [with technology supplied by the U.S.<\/a>]\u2026 they\u2019re frustrated with the Iranians,” he added.<\/p>\n

Keane told Fox News’ Griff Jenkins that three Gulf states are preparing for combat, but declined to identify them.<\/p>\n

“One has already started, and two others are about to get going,” he elaborated.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to talk about who they are, but that is being coordinated with Adm. Cooper and Central Command. These will be coordinated, selected targets, and they will contribute to the offensive nature of what’s taking place \u2013 the IDF, Central Command and the Gulf states.”<\/p>\n
