U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Arab nations fully support continued pressure on Iran's regime but prefer to maintain the status quo and avoid direct military confrontation. Following a call with Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Trump announced that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait share a unified stance. This unity, he explained, means continuing the unprecedented naval blockade and the "Iron Shield" operation on land and sea. Trump emphasized a complete regional consensus that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is non-negotiable.
Regarding potential security escalation, Trump affirmed that Washington is vigilant and prepared for military action if the Middle East situation drastically changes, though he deemed such a scenario currently unlikely. He added that Israel and the entire region are well-protected against Iranian threats. Trump noted a positive trend that could lead to the conflict's end while fully safeguarding U.S. interests, suggesting that ending current military involvement would make the world safer.
Concurrently, a Financial Times report revealed intense diplomatic pressure on Trump. The report detailed recent intensive talks between Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, Emir Tamim bin Hamad of Qatar, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. All these leaders urged Trump to prioritize diplomacy and avoid reigniting hostilities.
However, a diplomatic source cited in the report indicated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with Trump daily, urging him to resume military action. The regional leaders, seeking to avoid war, are actively working to counter Israeli pressure and prevent escalation. Despite Netanyahu's daily calls, the report highlighted that, as of now, there is no visible broad, active effort by Netanyahu to convince Trump to launch a full-scale attack.
