The US envoy to the Middle East, Jake Sullivan, reportedly urged Gulf states to prepare for potential tensions as President Donald Trump warned them to be ready for further developments. The warning came amid renewed diplomatic efforts to de-escalate regional tensions, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasizing the need for a strategic approach to prevent further escalation.
Jake Sullivan, acting as the US representative, reportedly conveyed to Gulf leaders that the administration is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to take necessary steps to ensure stability. The message follows recent reports that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been in communication with regional leaders to align on a coordinated strategy.
This comes after a series of diplomatic overtures, including a letter from US envoy Jake Vance to Iran's security chief, which reportedly called for an immediate return to peace talks. The letter, according to sources, was part of a broader effort to de-escalate tensions and prevent renewed hostilities between regional powers. The Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have been urged to remain vigilant as the situation continues to evolve.
