🇮🇷🇸🇦🇶🇦🇦🇪 The Gulf states just demanded the U.S. stand down because they're scared of Iranian retaliation on their own oil infrastructure Per Axios, Trump spoke with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE in the 24 hours before he called off the attack on Iran. The unified Gulf message per a U.S. official: "Give negotiations a chance because if you hit Iran, we will all pay the price for it." A second source: Trump told hawkish allies the three leaders made clear "they don't want their oil and energy facilities blown up" in potential Iranian retaliation. Iran's military capability remains intact enough that Riyadh, Doha, and Abu Dhabi will not risk a second round.
