He suggests that Gulf Coast countries should send ground troops to finish the job of neutralizing Iran&#8217;s threat, emphasizing that the United States has already done its part and should not led the effort. The senator&#8217;s comments were shared in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), where he expressed the view that these countries bear responsibility for addressing Iran&#8217;s influence and aggressions, including attacks on neighboring Arab nations and U.S. military bases. experts have noted that while some Gulf Arab states have the ability to join such a conflict,considerations about thier internal security and potential repercussions make collective military action unlikely. Iran has targeted multiple Arab neighbors with attacks linked to U.S. presence, raising concerns about regional stability and the possibility of further escalation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A Republican senator is calling upon Arab nations to invade Iran if they want to have more than just Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities neutered.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Sen.

The website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalfirepower.com\/countries-comparison-detail.php?country1=iran&#038;country2=saudi-arabia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Firepower<\/a> gave Iran a decided edge in any head-to-head match against Saudi Arabia, the largest Arab neighbor of Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The Saudis covertly counterattacked Iran in March after Saudi sites were attacked, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/saudi-arabia-launched-covert-attacks-iran-regional-war-widened-sources-2026-05-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The UAE has been more aggressive and largely eschewed diplomacy during the conflict, but those attacks were limited to air power. It said that the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/iran-purposely-targets-uae-oil-tankers-fatal-strike-calls-ships-non-compliant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iranian attacks<\/a> on its tankers could be the spark of another attack.<\/p>\n<p>In an Op-Ed on the website of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chathamhouse.org\/2026\/03\/should-gulf-arab-states-join-war-against-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chatham House<\/a>, Bilal Y. Saab, associate Middle East fellow at the London-based think tank and policy institute, discounted a major Arab military coalition emerging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe chances of the Gulf Arab states reconsidering and going on the offensive are low,\u201d Saab wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs always with states contemplating the use of force, it\u2019s a matter of willingness and ability. Some Gulf Arab states \u2013 namely, Saudi Arabia and the UAE \u2013 are capable of joining the fight against Iran using their formidable air power assets. But would doing so make a difference in the war, or be strategically wise? Neither is clear,\u201d Saab noted.<\/p>\n<p>Saab noted that attacking Iran could redouble attacks on energy production assets that Arab states want to protect and could even ultimately sever relations with Iran moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Saab further noted that \u201csome countries like Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have to worry about entities and cells that can be activated by Iran and threaten their internal security.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
