1. The US/Israel attack on Iran on 28 February - now in its third week without any sign of ending.
2. United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 passed on 11 March has condemned in the strongest terms the egregious attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran against these states and determined that such acts constitute a breach of international law and a serious threat to international peace and security.
Resolution 2817 further condemns residential areas being attacked, civilian objects being targeted and that the attacks resulted in civilian casualties and damage of civilian buildings.

3. Iran's threat to close the Strait of Hormuz - the narrow shipping lane between Iran and Oman through which around a fifth of the world’s daily oil and liquefied natural gas supply passes. Top Middle East oil producers Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Kuwait have all cut production at their oilfields.
Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are members of the Abraham Accords while Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have so far declined to join the Accords until a pathway to creating a Palestinian State between Jordan and Israel is established – a solution Israel's Knesset has rejected.
Iran's attacks on Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia could rebound as those States – already
in the US/Israel tent – sign the Abraham Accords.
The existing international border between Israel and Jordan could be redrawn effectively allocating sovereignty of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) between Israel and Jordan who have enjoyed a peace agreement since 1994.
The 12 month's stand-off between Trump and Netanyahu on Judea and Samaria (West Bank) will have been resolved.
