Pressure, not peace yet: How Saudi, UAE, Kuwait want the Iran war to go
The US' Gulf allies, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are urging President Trump to continue military action against Iran, arguing that Tehran has not been sufficiently weakened. The Gulf nations are pressing for significant changes in Iranian leadership or a dramatic shift in Iran's behavior before ending the military operation.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are leading calls to increase military pressure on Iran. The UAE has faced over 2,300 missile and drone attacks from Iran and is pushing for a ground invasion. Kuwait and Bahrain also back this move, while Oman and Qatar advocate for a diplomatic solution. Saudi Arabia demands that any settlement neutralize Iran's nuclear program and destroy its ballistic missile capabilities. The US has not called on Middle Eastern nations to join offensive operations. The conflict has resulted in significant tensions in the region, with Iran targeting US bases and Israeli territory in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.
