The Gulf countries fear that if the US and Israel attack Iran again, which is more fully prepared, they may ignite a more destructive war throughout the region, and the burden of cleaning up the mess will fall on them. Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said at the International Institute for Strategic Studies Manama dialogue held in Bahrain on Sunday: “We are being drawn into a crisis, and we have made tremendous diplomatic efforts to avoid this crisis. We are clearly looking for a political solution.” Trump has stated many times that the US and Israel will “complete the mission” in Iran. Trump has ruled out launching a new round of attacks before the US midterm elections on Tuesday, but with peace negotiations at an impasse, the possibility of a subsequent restart of attacks is not ruled out. A new round of conflict will further traumatize regions that have already gone through months of fighting. Iran has launched thousands of missiles and drones at the Gulf countries, targeting oil facilities, airports, and power plants. The attack caused dozens of civilian casualties and severe economic turmoil in the region. The International Monetary Fund predicts that the Saudi economy will shrink by 3.3% this year, and the economic decline in Kuwait and Qatar is expected to be even greater. Mohammed Basha, an associate international security researcher at the Royal United Kingdom Joint Military Research Institute, said, “I haven't heard any Gulf officials or civilians support another attack between the US and Israel against Iran, but most people think a new round of attacks is imminent. They believe that Iran will take a tougher counterattack in this round and will no longer abide by the previous tacit agreement of war.”
