00:23Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia has urged US President Donald Trump
00:29to continue striking Iran, insisting that Tehran must face strong consequences for its actions.
00:36This stance reflects a long-held view within Saudi leadership that decisive measures are
00:42needed to curb Iran's regional influence. Bin Salman met with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed
00:49on Monday to discuss the escalating situation. The leaders warned that Iran's ongoing attacks
00:56on Gulf Cooperation Council countries pose a serious threat to regional security and stability.
01:02They emphasized that Gulf states remain committed to defending their territories and will use
01:08all available resources to maintain stability. Despite over 2,000 missiles and drones launched
01:15by Iran over the past two weeks, Gulf states have refrained from publicly claiming a retaliatory strike.
01:21Officials say this caution stems from concerns about the aftermath, including potential escalation,
01:28wider targeting of strategic sites, and broader regional conflict. The Gulf leaders' approach
01:34reflects a careful balancing act, demonstrating strength and readiness to defend their nations
01:39while avoiding a direct confrontation with Iran that could spiral into a larger war.
