Iran and the Middle East
There will be those who are moving towards escalation because frankly they don't trust that the Iranians will not continue to strike them or escalate in the event that this war comes to an end in the future. And I think they have good reason to be concerned. Moving towards escalation particularly are the Emirates and the Saudis and the Bahrainis but also you have others in the Gulf, particularly the Qataris and the Omanis who are incredibly angry about how Iran has targeted them even though they try to stay out of all of this - but seem to be moving more towards de-escalation...Broadly though, there is consensus on a few things. One of which is that none of these states want Iranian state collapse, which distinguishes them from the Israelis, who frankly couldn't care less if the state in Iran collapsed and might even see it as a good thing."
