00:26Gulf nations are intensifying
00:29pressure on the United States as the Iran conflict escalates, with new reports revealing strong
00:36behind-the-scenes calls for a decisive military push. According to multiple reports, including
00:43the Associated Press, key Gulf allies led by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia
00:49are urging Washington to continue the war until Iran is significantly weakened. The UAE
00:57is taking the toughest stance, pushing for a possible ground invasion of Iran, with Kuwait
01:03and Bahrain also backing stronger military action. Officials argue that airstrikes alone
01:09are not enough to eliminate Iran's military capabilities or long-term threat. This comes
01:17after a month-long U.S.-led bombing campaign supported by Israel, targeting Iranian missile
01:23sites, infrastructure, and strategic assets. Iran has responded with waves of missile and
01:30drone attacks across the region, hitting Israel, U.S. positions and Gulf states. The United Arab
01:37Emirates alone has reportedly faced thousands of attacks, including strikes on critical infrastructure,
01:44raising fears about security and economic stability. Gulf leaders now see this moment as a strategic
01:52opportunity to weaken Iran's influence, its missile program, and its ability to threaten key global
01:59routes like the Strait of Hormuz. However, not all regional players agree. Countries like Oman and
02:06Qatar are pushing for diplomacy, warning that further escalation could trigger wider economic and military
02:13fallout. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled both openness to negotiations and readiness
02:21for harsher action, including targeting Iran's key energy infrastructure if tensions continue to rise.
02:29Iran, on its part, has issued strong warnings, cautioning Gulf states against supporting U.S. military
02:36operations, and hinting at further retaliation. While discussions remain behind closed doors and no final
02:44decision has been announced, the pressure for escalation is clearly mounting.
