      U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf are inching toward joining the fight against Iran, getting tougher following persistent attacks that have disrupted their economies and risk giving Tehran long-term leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.

      “Saudi Arabia’s patience with Iranian attacks is not unlimited,” Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan told reporters last week after a series of Iranian attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure. “Any belief that Gulf countries are incapable of responding is a miscalculation.”

      The United Arab Emirates, meanwhile, is starting to crack down on Iranian-owned assets, threatening a key lifeline for the rulers in Tehran, while it debates whether to send its military into the fight and lobbies against a cease-fire that leaves some of Iran’s military capability intact.

      Iran is forcing their hand, most recently by asserting it wants a role in the operations of the Strait of Hormuz after the war. Iran has shut the crucial channel by attacking ships as they sail through but has allowed some favored ships to pass.

      I don’t see how this materially impacts the war from the Iranian side, already getting blown to hell from the US & Israel.

      On the other hand could see a lot of friendly fire accidents and far more of an economic impact for everyone else as the entire Gulf region goes up in flames.

      I don’t believe the wider conflict is over but if the Gulf States joined I don’t know how anyone could wind down this conflict in a reasonably good way in a near term timeframe

      They are already involved but it would make zero difference if they directly join. There have been 8000 flights from US air force. GCC flights would be a drop in the ocean. GCC military capabilities are very poor and couldn’t handle houthi fighters
