Other concerned is, We live in a nonislamic country, can we support a islamic country in any rivalry with our non islamic country.
Answer
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
You should don the ihrām from Dammam if you have intention of making Umrah as well.
(Ap kay Masail, Vol.4, Pg.101)
We are unaware of the rivalry and the issues leading to the dispute between the country in which you live (non Islamic country) and the Islamic country. Hence, we cannot comment on the issue and advise that you consult the prominent and reputable Ulama’ of your country.
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
