Officials from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain have conveyed in private conversations that they do not want the military operation to end until there are significant changes in the Iranian leadership or there’s a dramatic shift in Iranian behavior, according to the officials, who spoke to AP on Tuesday on condition of anonymity.

that's logical. and they're going to need to put together a regional counter-terrorism operation, including arab soldiers, to help the israelis get the job done, which they should have done decades ago, and which should have been ready to go when this started.

further, if the turks will not drop their opposition to a kurdish operation, they should be told to do it themselves. trump apparently likes to ride erdogan's dick or something. but somebody else in the united states military is going to have to call the turks and tell them to make a choice - either get out of the way and let the kurds do it or mobilize and do it yourselves.
