While U.S. efforts accelerate to impose a lasting settlement between Lebanon and the Israeli Occupation after months of war and mutual escalation, developments on the ground appear to be moving in the exact opposite direction.

As Iranian strikes expanded beyond U.S. bases in the Gulf and official threats of military retaliation mounted, questions intensified over whether the Gulf states might be drawn—against their will—into the fire of war.
