Arab Allies Exasperated as Iran War Escalates

“Washington’s Gulf Arab allies are increasingly frustrated as hostilities between the U.S. and Iran intensify, jeopardizing their national security and economies,” Bloomberg reports.

“The Gulf states’ exasperation is underscored by their wide-ranging views on what the U.S. should do next.”

“Some officials believe President Donald Trump should escalate military operations by deploying ground troops in parts of Iran and perhaps even seizing its crucial oil export hub of Kharg Island, according to people familiar with the matter, declining to be named talking about sensitive matters.”
