Arab states are reportedly urging the US to take strong action against Iran, with some outlets suggesting they want the US to neutralize or decisively defeat Iran. The calls are said to be linked to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, which is affecting global oil supply. However, there are conflicting reports, with one outlet indicating that some Gulf states, such as the UAE and Qatar, are instead urging allies to help find a way to de-escalate the situation with Iran.
