US allies are persuading Trump to continue war with Iran – media

Gulf countries are asking US President Donald Trump not to stop the military campaign against Iran.

This is reported by the Associated Press, citing sources.

According to the agency’s interlocutors, representatives of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain are making it clear in private conversations that the current strikes are not enough to really weaken Iran.

This is a US-led campaign of airstrikes that has been going on for about a month. In the region, they say bluntly that the expected result has not yet been achieved.

Interestingly, these same countries initially criticized the operation. They were outraged that they were not warned about the US and Israeli plans and that the possible risks to the region were not taken into account.

Now the rhetoric has changed. Some US allies believe that now is a chance to seriously weaken Iran.

In private conversations, they make it clear that they do not want the operation to be completed until Tehran changes its behavior or until there is a change in power.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump told aides that he was willing to end the US military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remained largely closed.

Recall that the allies are pressuring the President of the United States Donald Trump to explain the goals and timing of the end of the conflict . At the same time, the White House, according to sources, is not providing the allies with detailed information about further plans for the war.
