HIGHThreat Assessment

Gulf allies Saudi Arabia and UAE are privately pressuring Trump to sustain military operations against Iran, arguing Tehran remains insufficiently degraded after a month of US-led bombing. This signals continued escalation trajectory and potential for expanded campaign scope, indicating no de-escalation consensus among key regional actors despite Trump's public '2-3 weeks' timeline claims.

Summary

Gulf allies of the United States, led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are urging President Donald Trump to continue prosecuting the war against Iran, arguing that Tehran hasn't been weakened enough by the monthlong US-led bombing campaign, according to US, Gulf and Israeli officials.
