UAE Joins Saudis, Qatar in Urging Trump Not to Restart War

[lostincalifornia]

The United Arab Emirates has made a more concerted push for an end to the Iran war in recent days, joining Saudi Arabia and Qatar in urging US President Donald Trump to give negotiations a chance, according to several people familiar with the matter.

The conversations were prompted by the countries’ fears that any retaliation from Tehran, if hostilities resume, will plunge Gulf economies into chaos, the people said. In separate calls with Trump, leaders of the three US allies said military action won’t achieve America’s long-standing goals with Iran, the people said, asking not to be named discussing sensitive matters.

The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Abu Dhabi’s stance indicates a shift for a country that bore the brunt of Iran’s attacks and has been more hawkish than its neighbors toward Tehran.

1. Donald has no cards

His typical buffoonish behavior cost us dearly.

2. Sure has. I wonder how many of his friends are in the polymarket

3. Short on interceptors I suspect

4. He might use the request for the off ramp he so desperately needs.

"Those nations are my friends and they have asked me so nicely to stop." And then he can walk away and declare a grand victory.

7. He can't just walk away

The war cannot be left in indefinite ceasefire. The economy will take years to recover if that happens.

5. This is what he has been waiting for. "Well, these countries want me to stop so I guess

I'll have to stop."

6. This proves again that Iran's strategy worked

Trump needs to make the deal that needs to be made.

JCPOA (Obama deal)
No tolls in Hormuz
Iran publicly backs off of Israel (no-active operations, no belligerent language from executive leadership. You can’t control legislators)
Sanctions dropped


This deal is possible if Trump is willing to look after Americas best interests. He keeps talking about 47 years of hostilities. He needs to be brave enough to change it all without fighting. Go back to peacemaking.

This deal is good for the US because it removes someone from the enemies list and opens Iran up for investment.
