Golf-Verbündete plädieren privat dafür, dass Trump weiterkämpfe, bis der Iran endgültig besiegt sei

Officials from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, [Kuwait](https://apnews.com/hub/kuwait) and [Bahrain](https://apnews.com/hub/bahrain) have conveyed in private conversations that they do not want the military operation to end until there are significant changes in the Iranian leadership or there’s a dramatic shift in Iranian behavior, according to the officials,

The Saudis say an eventual war settlement must neutralize Iran’s nuclear program, destroy its ballistic missile capabilities, end Tehran’s support for proxy groups, and also ensure that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be effectively shutdown by the Islamic Republic in the future as it has during the conflict

Honestly I don’t get it. They must know that they are risking retaliation that will permanently damage their countries. Sure they can go away and not be affected but their wealth is based on the resources in the countries.

I get why Israel would support further escalation or heck someone like Turkey but the gulf states?
