The GCC states are fucked, but I'm not sure what outcome they would think they're buying.
The US didn't start the war, Israel did. And the US can't end the war unless they're willing to pressure Israel (lol).
As long as the US is an empire, they are unable to walk away from the petrodollar and therefore the GCC. But Israel wants Iran destroyed because it's the only serious competitor in the region, so if the US wants to wind down the war, Israel will just escalate it to drag the US into a land war.
The smartest thing the US could do is declare bankruptcy and leave without destroying Iran so then Iran is Israel's problem. But that's unlikely to happen either because too many powerful people in America believe that they have to destroy Iran and setup Israel as a world government in order to bring back Jesus Christ.
Eschatology is weak men telling themselves they have to make hard times.
