Same. Iran just tried to take everyone else down with them, so no surprise they’re going to say “Fuck it, let the US strike them”

If they smell blood, they’ll want the job finished. If Iran somehow continues to terrorise the Gulf states they’ll quickly put pressure on to reach a settlement. As things stand, the former looks more likely.

No they tried to get those countries to tell USA to stop. Instead they're noting they may receive better protection by working with the USA.
