In a clear sign of panic, Tehran has reached out to Qatar and Oman, pleading with them to mediate between Iran and the United States to defuse tensions and stop what appears to be a very real threat of Israeli military action.

At the same time, Saudi Arabia is reportedly working quietly behind the scenes to de-escalate the situation, signaling a rare moment of regional alignment against the Iranian regime’s reckless behavior.

The once-arrogant Islamic Republic, known for sponsoring terrorism and destabilizing the Middle East, now finds itself in a defensive crouch, scrambling to avoid consequences it long assumed it could dodge.

As Israel stands firm against Iranian aggression, one thing is clear: the tables have turned. Iran is no longer calling the shots — it’s begging for a lifeline.
