Several Gulf countries are quietly urging US. President Donald Trump to continue the ongoing conflict with Iran, saying the fight should go on until Iran is clearly weakened.
Nations like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates believe stopping now could allow Iran to recover and remain a threat in the region. They see the current situation as a rare chance to reduce Iran’s military strength and influence.
Some countries, especially the UAE, are even open to stronger military steps if needed. Their position has hardened after facing repeated missile and drone attacks during the conflict.
However, not all countries in the region agree. Qatar and Oman are pushing for talks and a peaceful solution instead of more fighting. This shows that there are differences within the Gulf on how to deal with Iran.
The pressure comes as Trump has indicated that the United States may step back from the conflict soon. This has worried some allies, who fear that leaving too early could create more instability.
The conflict has already caused serious damage across the region, affecting lives, infrastructure, and key oil routes. There are also concerns globally about rising tensions and disruptions to energy supplies.
At the same time, some European countries have criticised the approach, saying more effort should be made to find a diplomatic solution.
