In a dramatic development behind closed doors, several Gulf Arab states are reportedly urging President Trump to escalate the war against Iran to a full-scale ground invasion. According to an AP report, the United Arab Emirates is leading the push, with Kuwait and Bahrain also backing the call.
Officials from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain have also expressed firm opposition to ending the current military operation prematurely. In private discussions, they stressed that the campaign should continue until there are major changes in Iran’s leadership or a fundamental shift in the regime’s behavior.
