Gulf Nations and UN Must Act to Prevent Trump’s ‘Firestorm’ in the Region

Mohamed ElBaradei, a former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has issued a call to action to Gulf countries and the United Nations, following US President Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum to Iran. In a social media post written in Arabic, ElBaradei implored the Gulf nations to take decisive action before the situation spirals out of control, warning that Trump’s actions could ignite a catastrophic conflict in the region. In a separate English-language post addressed to the UN, ElBaradei questioned whether anything can be done to halt Trump’s aggressive stance, which he believes is driven by a lack of evidence of an imminent threat from Iran. ElBaradei, who has previously spoken out against the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, had previously warned of the devastating consequences of Trump’s “war of choice” against Iran, citing the US’s failure to present credible evidence of an Iranian threat.
