Ezra Taylor argues Gulf autocrats are uniquely positioned to join the campaign against Iran precisely because they have no ballot boxes to answer to. No election cycle, no coalition to hold together. The piece frames this as the Gulf’s Germany/Japan moment and asks why leaders with maximum freedom to act decisively are choosing the most cautious possible option.
They will probably join only at the final stages of the war just as a symbol and once they’ll be certain that the IRGC is not going to survive this (at least not in their current form).
Also, the Iranian airspace is pretty packed at this moment and they can’t really contribute to the US/Israel in a significant way so technically speaking there’s no reason for them to actively join at the offensive at this point.
They’re already set to enjoy the benefits of the regime falling, what incentives do they have to take up a bigger share of the costs of getting it done?
Saudi’s will join. UAE will do little and seek diplomatic Swiss route I guess
Didn’t saudi have a big role in this war, like politically and diplomatically opposing Iran?
