An Arab diplomat told The Associated Press that officials from <strong>Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar<\/strong> have raised concerns over the past <strong>48 hours<\/strong> that a U.S. attack could destabilize the region and rattle the global economy. (<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-iran-middle-east-allies-strikes-diplomat-24f75a6b2ab3716be47163fcb0817bc7\">Associated Press, Jan 15\u201316, 2026<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Allies Want to <strong>Delay Iran Strikes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From a business perspective, the fear is simple: if a conflict expands, markets don\u2019t like surprises. The AP report noted that <strong>oil prices fell<\/strong> as markets picked up on Trump\u2019s shifting tone\u2014possibly reading it as a sign he\u2019s leaning away from an immediate attack. (<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-iran-middle-east-allies-strikes-diplomat-24f75a6b2ab3716be47163fcb0817bc7\">AP News, Jan 16, 2026<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/stock-markets-tech-trump-iran-10049feb11f3a6bf7b2a79f1ad997edc\">AP Markets, Jan 16, 2026<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the diplomat said Arab officials also pushed <strong>Iranian leaders<\/strong> to end the violent repression\u2014warning that any retaliation against U.S. forces or other targets in the region would bring serious consequences for Iran.

That death toll is one of the reasons the White House has been weighing tough responses\u2014while also calculating the risk of making things worse.

One day, he told Iranian protesters that <strong>\u201chelp is on its way\u201d<\/strong> and encouraged them to take over their country\u2019s institutions. (<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/iran-protests-trump-80f937dfbb3e04e5322dae30db3ad4b3\">AP News<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, soon after, he publicly claimed he had heard from \u201cvery important sources on the other side\u201d that Iran had <strong>stopped killing protesters<\/strong> and wouldn\u2019t move forward with executions. (<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-iran-protesters-executions-195edfa07111be782db71af07b538fdc\">AP News<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Levers of Pressure: Sanctions, Force Posture, and a Lack of Carriers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even while talk of strikes swirled, the administration used other tools. The U.S. announced <strong>new sanctions<\/strong>, including one targeting the <strong>secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme Council for National Security<\/strong>, who U.S. officials say called early for violence against protesters. The Treasury Department also designated <strong>18 people and companies<\/strong> accused of laundering money from Iranian oil sales through a shadow network tied to <strong>Bank Melli<\/strong> and <strong>Shahr Bank<\/strong>. (<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-treasury-iran-bessent-sanctions-d528538fae2c90e5d922c101b4f816a4\">AP News<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also the practical \u201ccan we do it cleanly right now?\u201d question. A foreign policy researcher told AP that the U.S. may be cautious because there are currently <strong>no U.S. aircraft carriers in the region<\/strong>, after the <strong>USS Gerald R. Ford<\/strong> strike group was deployed to U.S. Southern Command for a major counter-narcotics operation focused on Venezuela. That matters because carriers are a core asset for major operations.

Press Secretary <strong>Karoline Leavitt<\/strong> said \u201call options remain on the table\u201d and emphasized that only a very small circle knows what Trump will do. In the background, allies are pushing a simple argument: <strong>delay Iran strikes<\/strong> long enough to reduce the risk of a regional blow-up\u2014while keeping economic pressure and diplomacy in motion.
