Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and various EU countries all jumped in to defend Israel. That's not really good news for Iran. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if those countries all continue to help Israel and even allow Israel to use their airspace to launch attacks against Iran, which is a pretty big issue for Iran.
Where did you read Iraq and Saudi helped?

Times of Isreal article. Can't recall the exact one off the top of my head.

But basically, Gulf States let U.S. and Israel know about the attack (which was probably the intention), and allowed interceptions over their airspace. I would go a step farther and say that they probably even provided tracking data to United States as well.

For a time, there was global condemnation of the killing of 7 World Kitchen workers. There was even debate among select Democrats on how to hold Israel accountable.

Then Israel bombs Iranian embassy knowing U.S. will have now have to support it. It’s a calculated move. And if Israel responds again and Iran retaliates, U.S. is going sit back and not help Israel.
I say chances are high Israel will hit back.

Debunked in this thread. The website Jerusalem Post’s article relies on has no link to the Saudi government nor the Saudi family.

Iraq doesn’t have air defense.

Just to provide a background on this, the Jerusalem Post cited a story from the website called houseofsaud.com . However, upon further inspection of the site, I noticed that there weren’t endorsements from the royal family nor did it say that it was run by a PR team of the royal family. This twitter thread provided more context to this unusual site:

And this is their Twitter page:

It has been inactive for quite a long time which doesn’t make sense if it is the official media outlet of the royal family.

I think from a geopolitics pov, SA will dust their hand off and stay far back, let Iran, USA and Israel to knock each other out.

Why should SA get involve? They be act like the good guy in the end and reap all the benefits. Classic Chinese provert, sit on mountain, let the two tigers fight
