External intervention designed to weaken the regime’s repressive machinery might simply prompt a scorched-earth backlash against the Iranian people, while neighboring states, anxious about instability, radicalization, and an influx of refugees, look on with mounting alarm. These concerns, compounded by anxieties over an increasingly ascendant Israel, have prompted countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman to actively discourage the Trump Administration from resorting to military force.
