The Gulf countries say that if the current situation continues, they will have to take countermeasures.

At this meeting, they also issued their final warnings on this matter.

The recent intense attacks have triggered this as well. The risk has increased.

Israel will try to influence the US and will seek to prevent a ceasefire or the achievement of peace in the near term.

There has been a growing assessment that the US' and Israel’s initial positions are drifting apart. This, in turn, could lead to a longer war.

Israel may adopt a policy of prolonging the war as much as possible in order to inflict greater damage on Iran.

After the war ends, Gulf countries may clearly set out their expectations of Iran, and if certain conditions are met, the focus could shift to economic cooperation.

Iran, too, may come forward with certain demands regarding US bases in the Gulf.
