Trump Warns Gulf States: No Ceasefire This Week Means Escalation
⏱️ GULF STATES — Trump is threatening US allies, not Iran, to force a ceasefire. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Warning Gulf hosts — Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan already absorbing Iranian strikes — that their infrastructure goes next inverts normal alliance logic. Trump is using Gulf vulnerability as leverage to compress the timeline, not to reassure partners. If no deal by week's end, he's signaling he'll let Iranian strikes on desalination and power plants continue unchecked, or worse, expand the target set himself.
