Saudi Arabia and the UAE are discussing entering a war against Iran.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are assisting the United States in military actions against Iran and are considering the possibility of directly involving their own troops in the armed conflict, reports Point publication, citing The Wall Street Journal.

 

It is reported that currently, both countries are assisting the U.S. by allowing the use of military infrastructure and exerting economic pressure on Tehran. At the same time, these states are also discussing the issue of using military force.

 

Furthermore, The Wall Street Journal adds that Saudi Arabia has allowed U.S. troops to use the King Fahd Air Base located in the west of the Arabian Peninsula.

 

According to the publication's sources, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is currently considering the country's direct participation in military actions. Another source stated that Saudi Arabia's entry into the war is "a matter of time."

 

Last week, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister stated that Saudi Arabia's patience with Iranian attacks is not limitless, and if necessary, countries in the region can stand against Iran.

 

"The UAE is currently limiting itself to economic measures. For example, the emirates have threatened to freeze billions of dollars worth of Iranian assets and have already closed Iranian institutions in Dubai. Currently, the possibility of direct participation in the war is not being completely ruled out in the UAE," the report states.
