Two key American allies in the Persian Gulf may soon be joining the joint US-Israeli air campaign against Iran, according to officials and regional analysts.
According to a report published by The Wall Street Journal on Monday, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have taken steps in recent days that signal a shift from their earlier attempts to maintain a low profile in the conflict with Iran.
While neither country has officially committed to military action, both appear to be edging toward deeper participation in the US- and Israeli-led campaign against Iran.
For instance, Saudi Arabia has agreed to allow American forces to operate out of King Fahd Air Base, a reversal from its previous stance that it would not permit its territory or airspace to be used for attacks on Iran.
