Not really, Iran is hated by more than the half of the entire Middle East. No one wants this war because it will spillover but not many in the MEA will fight the US for the sake of Iran.
Actually the only officially Pro-Iran Arab countries are Syria which is in total chaos, Qatar which is a tiny country (and has a lot of investments in Europe, so they would stand still), while Lebanon, another tiny country, is half-half (two opposing internal sides) due to Hezbollah. Iraq’s majority of Shia are surprisingly anti Iran.
Actually my only worry is Hezbollah for going to war; and the Houthis are already in war. I think of no other country/party/Militia will be willing to go to war for the sake of Iran other than those two.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia would actually applaud if US strikes Iran. And most Muslim countries such as Turkey and Azerbaijan (A Shia country with bad relation with Iran) would stand still.
Iran doesn’t have a lot of fans in the region.
Don't forget Iraq. Maybe not "officially" allied to Iran. But the post Saddam Shia dominated government the US put in place there has the rare distinction of being friends with both Iran and the US (though both Iran and the US ask it to stop playing with the other).
