$CL 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says Gulf nations want to KEEP Iran under blockade rather than risk another round of war.
After speaking with Qatar’s prime minister, Trump said Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait also support maintaining the current military pressure.
That means the naval blockade remains in place, while Operation Iron Gate targets Iran’s alternative supply routes.
And Trump had another warning:
The U.S. remains “ready to act” if the situation changes. But he also said the region is moving toward ending the conflict.
So for now, the plan seems to be: No new war, no lifting the blockade, and no nuclear weapons for Iran.
Bottom line: One hand is deploying troops, mobilizing an entire air force more powerful than the one used in the opening war on 24.2. Countries surrounding Iran have all been instructed to close their airspace and evacuate diplomatic staff. Russia has sent emergency aircraft to Israel to evacuate personnel (the last time was also before the 24.2 war, when Russia sent this aircraft team to Israel to evacuate people ahead of a U.S. attack). Meanwhile, Trump’s other hand is pretending to negotiate, meeting with Qatar and sending Vance to negotiate. But every decision is awaiting approval from Israel—a country that will not accept peace with Iran right now. $BZ
