Along the shores of the Persian Gulf, three nations that have long balanced between alliance and exposure are now raising a collective voice for restraint. The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar — each scarred by the spring's brief but devastating war — are pressing Washington to choose negotiation over renewed confrontation with Iran, knowing that the next round of fire would not spare them. Their appeal reflects a hard-won wisdom: that proximity to power does not mean immunity from its consequences, and that stability, once shattered, is not easily rebuilt.
