Behind the scenes, Gulf governments have grown increasingly concerned about what they view as an unclear U.S. strategy as the conflict continues and Iranian attacks threaten the region, the Journal reported.

Who needs a strategy? Just turn the whole place into a sheet of glass, right war-groupies?
**Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with the president and urged him to pursue dialogue to reduce regional tensions.
**The Saudi government said diplomatic efforts could help preserve regional stability and help prevent a broader conflict.**
**Officials also said the crown prince sought greater clarity on the Trump administration’s strategy toward Iran and the planned military operation.**
Clarity-what’s there to know?
It’s getting deeper and November is 3 months away. We can count on these ‘negotiations’ going on.
In reality, they're going to get President Ayatollah. I'm not so sure they'll be happy to bow before their Shi'a Overlords, but this is what they're doing.
Too chicken to fight for themselves, and now to chicken to let Uncle Sam do it?
The Sunnis have been at war with Shiites for centuries. The Syrian wars of ~12 years ago, 500,000 Muslims were killed in a classic Sunni vs Shiite squabble
These Gulf Oil States are Sunni chickenshits, who now believe that they can live with a nuked up Shiite Iran, that they will be paying fees and Jizya taxes too. Hormuz Straits fees and so on.
I don’t really get what Trump is even after here? Things seems stable a few weeks ago, and Saudis were shifting deliveries to the Red Sea. He shouldn’t have started it up again until after the midterms. There is just too much at stake domestically, and no realistic path to defeat the IGRC regime.
It might be necessary for those states to take some hits. World War Three is as much theirs as anybody else’s’.
Would be nice if they could arrange one of those every decade or so, without White females insisting on importing millions of survivors into the West.
Trump wants like it was BEFORE the war even started, he wants the Strait open for EVERYONE, thing is back then Iran controlled it, Obama let them control it, every past President allowed Iran to do whatever they wanted. I think what Trump and Israel were expecting was that back in Feb, the Ayotollah was killed, they didnt see it coming, their God was just killed, Iran would be in a total state of shock, and they would just surrender, the people of Iran would rise up, taking back their country and Trump and BiBi would be heroes, that is what he was expecting, didnt work out that way. Iran didnt take his death as such a big deal, dude was old anyway, he was going to die soon enough anyway..and Iran NEVER surrenders, they didnt see that coming
War groupies are endless oh War Neo- cons NOT Jacksonian’s.
The world wouldn’t be having these problems today if there was no oil to fight over. The answer could be taking out Kharg but then to follow through all the other nations oil infrastructures would have to be taken out also. Could the rest of the world make up for the 20% lost? There would me more lost as the Red Sea is another outlet.
I could see Israel taking on the task if the SHTF. When it comes to their survival do they care what we think? They already know what the rest of the world thinks of them.
Sadly, Trump is playing politician more than patriot in recent months.
No, they're afraid that trillions of dollars in infrastructure that they rely on for most of their GDP doesn't end up destroyed in America's fight with Iran for Israel.
They know that we can't protect it, and they don't want their economies destroyed in retaliation.
Guess which faction in this war would love to see the arab state's economies destroyed...
Two weeks ago, the Iranians sic’ed their Houthi Surrogates on the Saudis.
The Iranians sent them a couple of loads of missiles to them so Saudi Arabia bombed their airport in Yemen.
Then The Houthis started bombing Saudi Red Sea shipping.
Now, Saudi has asked us to not bomb Iran. Was that due to Iran's retaliation against them?
Muslims who hate us not joining us against other Muslims who hate us - Gee, who would have thunk it?
Whatever agreement might be reached will absolutely be violated by Iran in order to impact the midterm elections. Somewhere between early and mid-October Iran will resume aggression.
That’s the bitter truth.
They have until November just like us. Afterwards Trump can bomb for 2 more years no matter the election results. He’d find a way.
**Now, Saudi has asked us to not bomb Iran. Was that due to Iran’s retaliation against them?**
Think Spain when those bombs went off on the train years ago.
Ma’am, it’s for all Christians and it’s for you, also.
