WSJ: Saudi Arabia and UAE 'inching toward' joining fighting against Iran

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are reportedly moving closer to joining the fight against Iran as the conflict in the Middle East continues. According to the Wall Street Journal, the two Gulf nations are 'inching toward' a more active military role.

Saudi Arabia has already allowed United States forces to use an air base within its borders, signaling a shift in its involvement. A source cited in the report said it is 'only a matter of time' before Saudi Arabia formally enters the war.

The development follows comments from Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, who said the kingdom's patience regarding Iranian attacks 'is not unlimited,' suggesting a possible escalation in the near future.
