Journalist Suleiman Maswadeh reported Sunday evening that President Donald Trump has sent a warning to Gulf states, urging them to prepare for a significant escalation against Iran if no deal is reached this week. The report does not specify the channel through which the message was conveyed or the exact timing.
The warning comes amid a flurry of Trump administration diplomatic activity and public statements on Iran. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Trump has repeatedly warned that failure to reach a negotiated settlement could lead to severe consequences, including military action. In recent weeks, Trump has conveyed messages through various channels and publicly stated that the Middle East should brace for what will happen next week.
The reported message, if accurate, suggests a hardening of the U.S. posture as the current push for negotiations enters a critical phase. No official confirmation from the White House or Gulf capitals has been reported.
