The US has warned several Middle Eastern countries to prepare for a possible sharp and large-scale escalation if the confrontation with Iran again turns into an open war. According to Maariv, citing information from Jordan, several countries in the region have received corresponding signals from the US administration. The situation is assessed as particularly serious in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The main risk for Israel lies in a possible simultaneous escalation on several fronts: in addition to Iran, tensions persist in southern Lebanon, Yemen, and the Red Sea. The activity of the Houthis is a separate concern. Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, are trying to maintain a diplomatic channel between Washington and Tehran. Contacts are taking place with the mediation of Turkey and Pakistan. Washington is simultaneously preparing for a possible deterioration of the situation and trying to avoid direct involvement in a large-scale conflict, given the upcoming midterm elections in the US.
