Gulf Arab states are expected to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump and urge him to avoid any escalation of hostilities with Iran, according to people familiar with the plans. The discussions are scheduled for Tuesday, with the focus on maintaining restraint and pursuing de-escalatory options.
The reports describe the message as a push for diplomacy rather than widening conflict. While both outlets characterize the meeting around preventing escalation, they frame the surrounding context differently: one outlet focuses broadly on avoiding escalation, while the other highlights a warning attributed to Trump about severe consequences if hostilities continue. Neither report provides detailed terms of the states’ requests or any official response from the White House in the accounts provided.
