Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman Persuaded Trump to Give 'a Chance' to Iran

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman played a crucial role in preventing a potential US military attack on Iran. The three countries exerted intense diplomatic pressure on Donald Trump, warning of the serious consequences such a move would have for the region and oil markets. According to reports, these countries assured Tehran that they would not be involved in any conflict and would not allow the US to use their airspace. This effort contributed to de-escalation and the avoidance of a dangerous escalation. Oil prices fell following assurances that military action would be avoided.
