On Thursday, Saudi Arabia's Arab News demanded 'decisive, punitive' so that 'Iran knows that every single move they make will have consequences.' As tensions continue to escalate, the danger remains that regional enmity between Iran and Saudi Arabia and Israel will trigger what happens next.
Iran sees the escalating tensions with the U.S. as extending to include Saudi Arabia and Israel. And on Thursday, an demanded:"Iran must not go unpunished... In [our] considered view, there has to be deterrent and punitive action in order for Iran to know that no sinister act will go unpunished; that action, in our opinion, should be a calculated surgical strike." "on the cusp of a full-scale confrontation with the enemy.
The Saudi newspaper claims that the drone attacks on Tuesday and the attack on four oil tankers off the coast of the UAE at the weekend"represents a serious escalation on the part of Iran and its proxies, should the initial conclusions of an international investigation prove to be accurate." Earlier on Thursday, Iran's foreign minister said from Tokyo that"the escalation by the United States is unacceptable." Javad Zarif also described U.S. actions as"Nothing is new in the Middle East. The military standoff between Iran and Saudi Arabia defines the region, far more than any regional enmity towards Israel. Tel Aviv has been courting Middle Eastern Arab states, including Saudi Arabia and UAE.
Much has been written about the U.S. plan as regards the standoff with Iran and the escalating situation in the Gulf. The danger is that it will be a regional trigger that escalates the situation further, rather than any considered U.S. action. Iran doesn't need to target U.S. forces in the Middle East when it has all of Saudi Arabia and Israel on its doorstep. And the danger of a proxy war, most likely in Iraq, also now looms large.
What we need is a period of calm to make sure that everyone understands what the other side is thinking." raised the threat level for military and diplomatic staff in Iraq and Hunt followed up discussions with U.S.
