**[Gulf Nations Urge U.S. to "Once and for All" Eliminate the Iranian Threat]** Odaily Planet Daily News – Three Gulf sources told Reuters that Arab Gulf nations are not asking the U.S. to go to war with Iran, but many countries are now urging the U.S. not to stop halfway, ensuring Iran no longer has the capability to threaten the Gulf region's oil lifeline and the economies dependent on it. Meanwhile, these sources, along with five Western and Arab diplomats, stated that Washington is pressuring Gulf nations to join the war initiated by the U.S. and Israel. According to three of the sources, Trump hopes to showcase regional support for military action to bolster its international legitimacy and domestic backing. "The entire Gulf region generally believes that Iran has crossed every red line with every Gulf nation," said Abdulaziz Sager, chairman of the Gulf Research Center based in Saudi Arabia, who is familiar with government perspectives. "Initially, we defended them and opposed war," he said. "But once they started attacking us, they became enemies. There is no other way to classify them." (Jin10)
