📰Gulf’s Red Line: No Strike on Tehran The Gulf’s Calculated Silence Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies are urging Washington not to strike Iran, even as the Trump administration weighs military options and protests rage across the Islamic Republic. Publicly, Gulf states have largely avoided comment. Behind the scenes, officials are signaling deep concern about the risks of escalation, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal and Reuters. ​ Death Toll and Diplomacy Human rights groups and media outlets have reported hundreds of deaths in Iran’s crackdown, with official figures from earlier in the unrest citing at least 572 fatalities. Claims of “thousands” of deaths remain unverified by major international sources, and such numbers should be treated with caution until confirmed by credible organizations. ​ Gulf Concerns: Stability First Gulf officials have told international media that any attempt to destabilize Iran’s government could disrupt oil markets and trigger broader regional instability, potentially affecting the U.S. economy. These concerns have been echoed by diplomats in private conversations, though specific named sources remain limited. ​ The Gulf’s Realpolitik As one Gulf diplomat told Reuters, “They despise Iran’s regime, but they despise instability even more”. The Gulf’s priority is avoiding chaos—mass refugee flows, retaliatory attacks, and economic fallout could hit the region hard, regardless of who’s in power in Tehran. ​ The Message to Washington According to Al Jazeera, there are widespread expectations that the situation could escalate into broader conflict, and Gulf states are working to prevent that outcome. Their message to Washington is clear: regime change is not worth the risk of regional war. ​ #iran#gulf#trump#protests#diplomacy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Trump and the Risk of the Big Nuclear War 🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣ Into the second month of the US-Iran war, the conflict in the Gulf continues to escalate—airstrikes widening, oil markets reacting, and pressure mounting around the Strait of Hormuz. But beyond the immediate security and economic concerns, another question is quietly taking shape: What actually happens if a nuclear site is hit? In most cases, even if a nuclear facility is hit, a large-scale radiological disaster is unlikely. Modern sites are designed with multiple safety systems that can shut down reactors and contain damage. The risk isn’t defined by the strike itself, but by what the strike damages inside the facility. The risk becomes significantly higher, however, if those systems fail—or if an operational nuclear power plant is directly affected. On February 28, when the US and Israel launched a coordinated military campaign against Iran’s leadership and military infrastructure, Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile sites were marked as potential targets. As the conflict deepened, Iranian officials reported strikes on the Natanz nuclear facility, a primary uranium enrichment complex, located around 140 miles from Tehran. This was followed by strikes on the Ardakan facility as well as the Khondab heavy water reactor, which was left inoperable after the attack. Earlier this week, additional heavy bunker-buster bombs were also launched in Isfahan, in close proximity to the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center. So far, international watchdogs have reported no radiation leaks from the targeted facilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said there is no indication of off-site contamination, even after reported strikes on sites such as Natanz and near Isfahan. But the concern isn’t limited to the impact site. Across the Gulf, the risks are shaped by geography and infrastructure. Much of the region depends on desalinated seawater—systems that pull directly from the sea. If radioactive material were to enter marine environments, it wouldn’t just spread through ecosystems, but through the infrastructure that supplies drinking water to millions. But the concern isn’t limited to the impact site. Across the Gulf, the risks are shaped by geography and infrastructure. Much of the region depends on desalinated seawater—systems that pull directly from the sea. If radioactive material were to enter marine environments, it wouldn’t just spread through ecosystems, but through the infrastructure that supplies drinking water to millions. The Bushehr nuclear power plant, located along Iran’s Gulf coastline, sits within close proximity to neighboring states. While it has not been directly affected, experts have repeatedly warned that any escalation involving coastal nuclear infrastructure could have cross-border consequences. Not every strike on a nuclear site leads to a dramatic mushroom cloud explosion or an immediate radiation release. What matters is where the site is hit and how much damage is done to its safety systems. Within minutes of impact, a reactor is designed to shut down automatically. This stops the nuclear reaction, acting as the first line of defense. But shutdown doesn’t eliminate the risk. The reactor core continues to generate heat through radioactive decay, and that heat must be controlled. The extent of the damage—whether to buildings, control systems or backup infrastructure—determines how effectively those safety mechanisms can continue to function. In past incidents, including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, the shutdown worked as intended. The crisis began only after a tsunami disabled critical systems in the hours that followed. Without cooling, heat begins to build inside the reactor core. If cooling systems are damaged, whether through loss of power, failed pumps, or destroyed backup generators, the temperature continues to rise. #war#iran#nuclear#trump#strikes#gulf 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

News: #Saudi_Arabia presses U.S. to lift Hormuz blockade, return to talks with #Iran Saudi Arabia is urging the #United_States to lift its naval blockade of the Strait of #Hormuz and resume negotiations with Iran, amid fears that escalating tensions could disrupt critical global shipping routes, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Citing Arab officials, the report said Riyadh is concerned that continued pressure on Tehran could provoke retaliation, including potential disruption of the Bab al-Mandeb strait—a key #Red_Sea passage for #Gulf oil exports. The U.S. blockade, which targets Iranian ports, took effect Monday after efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz through diplomacy failed. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil transit route, was shut earlier in the conflict after Iran attacked vessels, cutting off an estimated 13 million barrels per day of exports & driving..... https://www.facebook.com/AddisstandardEng/posts/pfbid02hJjheENPvhmj8y9Py4Z6EgKi6pfHcwEetbJE2axpa2m6r14sxpHYYouo1RLowgJjl

🔠🅰️🔠🔠2️⃣ The US, not informed of the strikes in advance, apologised directly to Qatar’s emir and offered new security guarantees for Doha designed to protect Qatar from further Israeli attacks. At the time, Qatar accused Israel of trying to sabotage every opportunity for peace in the region. Witkoff is a supporter of the Qatari state’s self-appointed but often effective role as a global mediator. The US al-Udeid airbase, its largest in the region, is in Qatar, and as tensions mounted on Wednesday the US withdrew key personnel from the base. The withdrawal, after Tehran’s open threats to hit US bases in the region if attacked, underscores how static American land and naval bases in the region designed to project US power could also be a source of vulnerability. Iran persistently claims that the US ordered Israel to end its 12-day assault in the summer on Iran’s leadership and nuclear programme after Iran struck the US base. Araghchi has also managed to exploit the political capital he has invested in diplomatic outreach by ringing Arab leaders to explain Tehran’s rationale for the crackdown. Many of the states deeply resent the interference of Iranian proxy forces in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. Yet by the same measure, few of them would welcome the example of an authoritarian regime being toppled by street protests riled by falling living standards, and leading to a new democratic transition, or even the fragmentation of a unified Iranian state. Saudi Arabia for instance has recently put down a rebellion in the south of Yemen that would have broken up the country. The Egyptian military leadership dedicates much its energy to suppressing calls for human rights reforms. The spokesperson for Qatar’s foreign ministry, Majed al-Ansari, told reporters on Tuesday: “The big challenges in the region – and we are talking about internal and external challenges in different countries – require all of us to return to the negotiating table.” The Turkish foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, has called for dialogue. “Hopefully, the United States and Iran will resolve this issue among themselves – whether through mediators, other actors, or direct dialogue. We are closely following these developments.” #iran#trump#saudiarabia#qatar#araghchi#gulf 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Trump Seems to Back Down Under Some Arabic Countries’ Plea 🔠🅰️🔠🔠1️⃣ Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Oman urged Trump not to launch airstrikes against Iran in a last-minute lobbying campaign prompted by fears that an attack by Washington would lead to a major and intractable conflict across the Middle East. The warnings of chaos from the longstanding US allies appear to have helped persuade Trump late on Wednesday to hold off for the moment on a military assault. In the case of Saudi Arabia, its reticence led it to deny the US use of its airspace to mount any attacks. Continuing discussions, the Saudi Arabian foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, conferred by phone with his counterparts from Iran, Oman and Turkey on Thursday. Iran remains politically apart from the Gulf states, partly owing to its continued support for its weakened network of regional proxies, known as the axis of resistance, and its refusal to back a two state-solution for Palestine as well as disputes over three islands in the Gulf claimed by the United Arab Emirates, a claim backed by the Gulf Cooperation Council. But Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has also undertaken a series of visits to Arab capitals that are said to have improved relations. Last year, for instance, he visited Bahrain, the first Iranian minister to do since 2010. He also visited Cairo four times last year in an effort to improve relations. The two sides had severed diplomatic relations in 2016. The Saudi-Iranian relationship, once the most fraught in the Middle East, has been on a recovery path for three years. Araghchi makes a point of being photographed sampling local cuisine in the Arab capitals he visits. All the Gulf states are further aware of the disruption Iran could cause to maritime traffic in the Gulf. Araghchi has recently been trying to persuade the Gulf states than Iran is less of a risk to global stability than Israel, a case made more plausible after Israel bombed Doha last September with the intent to kill the Hamas negotiators that have lived in the Qatari capital for nearly a decade. The Israelis failed to hit their primary targets, but reportedly killed five lower-ranking members of the group. #iran#trump#saudiarabia#qatar#araghchi#gulf 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

The nightmare everyone wrote memos about and then ignored has finally happened — and it took Trump’s own war to set it off. 📰 They Knew Hormuz Was the Weak Link. They Bet the U.S. Navy Would Save Them Anyway For decades, the Strait of Hormuz was the most famous “what if” in the global energy system: a narrow, exposed corridor carrying roughly a fifth of the world’s oil and a huge share of its gas, sitting under Iran’s nose and everyone’s nerves. Analysts talked about it as the ultimate nightmare scenario, but they also comforted themselves with a simple assumption: when things got serious, the United States would keep the waterway open with its military power. Gulf monarchies were happy to live on that assumption. Saudi Arabia’s East–West pipeline to the Red Sea and the UAE’s Abu Dhabi–Fujairah line were built as partial workarounds, but together they can only move a slice of what normally sails through Hormuz. For most producers — Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain — a real alternative would mean building cross‑border pipelines through rivals or unstable neighbors, under permanent risk of Iranian attack and regional politics. Nobody wanted to pay for that, politically or financially, as long as U.S. warships were the cheapest insurance policy. ​ Then Trump and Israel launched a war on Iran on February 28 — and the insurance provider became the arsonist. Instead of rushing in escorts and stabilizing the lane, Washington fired the opening shots, floated the idea of convoys, and then failed to deliver, while Iran hit tankers and refineries until traffic through Hormuz collapsed to less than 10 percent of prewar levels. Within days, producers in Iraq, Kuwait, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia had to slash output; by mid‑March, regional cuts had yanked around 10 million barrels a day off global supply, about 10 percent of the world total. The result is pure systemic own goal. Storage tanks are filling, refineries are throttling back, and gas exports from Qatar are largely frozen. Oil has already jumped above $100 a barrel. The IEA is talking about the biggest disruption in history. Gulf elites who trusted the U.S. security umbrella now discover that Iran can close their lifeline with cheap missiles and drones, while Washington is too busy staging “maximum pressure” to do the boring work of convoy duty. For years, the logic was: why spend billions on redundant infrastructure and hard political choices if the American navy will handle the worst case? Now the worst case is here, and that navy is part of the problem. As one regional executive put it, what everyone has been warning about “has finally happened” — and the bill for that strategic laziness is arriving not just in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, but at every gas station from Los Angeles to Berlin. #iran#hormuz#oil#trump#gulf#energy#fakeSecurity 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

📰 Saudi Arabia, Inc.: Crisis Manager for a War It Can’t Admit It Needs While Trump is yelling “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” into his phone and Israel is turning half of western Iran into a weapons-testing reel, Saudi Arabia is doing something far less cinematic and far more revealing: quietly working the backchannel to Tehran to stop the war from blowing up its business model. According to European officials, Riyadh has ramped up direct engagement with Iran in recent days, using security services and diplomats to push de-escalation while everyone else publicly promises more missiles. For the Gulf monarchies, this isn’t about peace; it’s about risk management. Iran is firing drones and missiles in response to U.S.–Israeli strikes, oil is surging past 90 dollars with traders openly warning that 100 is next if the war keeps raging, and global markets are starting to twitch. Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar have already told Washington and Jerusalem they can’t use their airspace or territory to hit Iran, even as they depend on U.S. security guarantees and quietly cheer anything that weakens the Islamic Republic. Welcome to the new morality: “we oppose escalation, but we really like the price curve.” The same Sunni states that spent a decade framing Iran as an existential Shia threat have, in recent years, been busy normalizing: reopening embassies, talking about regional “integration,” and backing Oman’s efforts to mediate a U.S.–Iran deal — right up until Trump and Israel kicked the door in on Feb. 28. Now Riyadh is trying to salvage that hedge by talking to Tehran while pretending in public that it’s just another concerned neighbor issuing generic calls for restraint. The message to both sides is simple: keep your war away from our pipelines, our shipping lanes, and our succession plans. ​ So you get a grotesque split-screen: Trump demanding surrender, Israel and Iran trading salvos, oil traders pricing in $100 crude, and Saudi Arabia playing emergency switchboard between the same capitals it arms, funds, and hosts when the cameras are off. The kingdom that spent years exporting sectarian fire is suddenly the adult in the room — not because it found a conscience, but because it finally understands what a direct hit on its refineries would do to Aramco’s valuation. When Gulf royals beg Iran to “return to your senses” while blocking their skies to U.S. jets and quietly dialing Tehran to calm things down, you’re not watching a peace process. You’re watching the region’s richest petro-states try to keep a U.S.–Iran war raging just far enough away that only other people’s cities, and other people’s economies, get turned into cautionary tales. #saudi#iran#gulf#war#oil#trump#israel#geopolitics#energy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
