Gulf Arab states, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are privately pushing the United States to continue military operations against Iran to further degrade Tehran's missile, drone, and nuclear capabilities before agreeing to any ceasefire. As the war enters its second month with over 1,200 Iranian civilian deaths, oil prices above $90, and the Strait of Hormuz largely shut down, the Gulf position raises questions about legality under international law and whether prolonged conflict could accelerate Iran's nuclear ambitions rather than contain them.
