They should be drawn in, they've been colluding with Israel to destroy Iran for at least a decade.
The Gulf states are controlled by Sunnis who are fanatically bigoted against Shi'a Muslims and other minority sects, and persecute those groups mercilessly. Iran is the center of Shi'a power.
Also, the Gulfies and the Israelis have a common interest in preventing democracy from being established in Arab countries. The Israelis know that despots are easier to buy off. The Gulfies despise groups with democratic aspirations since they oppose reactionary theocracy and corruption.

Insane Israel will cause our next global war. I’m positive about that.

That must make Putin so sad, he was trying so hard.

Not doubting you, but could you supply the evidence that makes you so confident? Curious to know the full logic too. Globe is kinda big in comparison to 2 or 3 countries no?

Israel makes no secret that they intend to steal more land from their neighbors. They're extremely nationalistic so this is popular for their political leaders. They know the USA will protect them. It's a series of facts with a logical conclusion. If someone else doesn't start it first, they will eventually.

Well it's pretty simple to understand that Israel is supported by many western countries, and there are many others who do not support Israel and/or those western countries. Those western countries will support Israel and push their influence onto them, so anyone who wants to oppose the influence of either Israel or any of those western countries will have an incentive to support Iran in the conflict. What you have there is the same set of conditions that led to the world's previous global conflicts.

Israel bombed Iran because they know they won't be able to respond. They called them out on their bluff again and Iran did nothing again. Israel has been humiliating Iran for the past several years and they basically dismantled Iran's entire foreign strategy in the region, a strategy they've spent billions and decades working on.
A global war can only happen when the opposing side has enough weight to fight back and bring allies alongside it. Iran doesn't have this capability.

Anxious about how to defending israel without being too obvious

Yeah, they're going to have to pump the arab street with propaganda and censorship to prevent riots...

Dubai will hopefully be levelled. The UAE is a uniquely evil entity.

Meh. If they get pulled in and actually commit, Israel would be wiped off the map.
I don't think they'd actually be able to do that though. Israel still has enough support from around the world. Maybe a lot of precision strikes to destroy their defensive positions, then let the bordering countries take back their land.

They're on the same side, so why would they do that? Anyway, the military power of the Gulf statelets, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia is barely sufficient to sustain their genocide against the dirt-poor Houthis, let alone to attack a hard target like Israel. Tehy spend far more money spying on and repressing their own people.
