Gulf Allies Beg Trump: Don’t Stop Bombing Iran Now
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are privately pressing President Trump to keep the US-led strikes hammering Iran, warning that the month-long campaign hasn’t hit the regime hard enough to force real change.
Gulf officials, joined by voices from Kuwait and Bahrain, tell the White House the pressure must continue until Tehran’s leadership shifts dramatically or its behavior turns. They see this as a rare shot to neuter the mullahs’ nuclear ambitions, missile threats, and terror proxies once and for all.
Even as some fret about endless war, America’s Arab partners know a half-measure leaves Iran dangerous and the region unstable. The UAE, hammered by over 2,300 Iranian missiles and drones in the past, is pushing especially hard.
Fresh video from Isfahan shows thick black smoke pouring from a precision strike on an IRGC missile site in the Baharestan area. US and Israeli forces have pounded command centers, ballistic missile factories, and Revolutionary Guard bases across Iran since late February, with no sign of letting up.
Trump’s tough approach is delivering results where past weakness failed. Gulf leaders get it: finish the job on the world’s top state sponsor of terror, or watch the threats return stronger. America First means striking hard when it counts, not retreating with the mission incomplete.
