Several Middle Eastern allies have urged the United States to refrain from launching military strikes against Iran in response to the government's deadly crackdown on protesters. Officials from Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar expressed concerns that intervention could destabilize the region and impact the global economy. President Trump has sent mixed signals, alternating between threats and indications of restraint, while maintaining that all options remain on the table. The White House announced new sanctions targeting Iranian officials and entities involved in the repression and financial networks, as protests in Iran appear to be increasingly suppressed.
