An editorial in Saudi Arabia's Al Riyadh said tension continued to mount in the Gulf, where raid alarms were being prepared by both the United States and Iran.
"The naval vessels are not in the Gulf to take a warm bath, to fish, or to sleep on the beaches," it said, adding that the military buildup warned of a new adventure that would have arduous results.
The semi-official daily speculated that the British decision to start withdrawing troops from Iraq might have been due to the fact London didn't wish to be embroiled in any looming war between Iran and the US.
It stressed that Iran was different to Iraq in terms of its strength, internal unity, and geographic area, making it difficult to predict the fallout from a US-Iran war, but warning, nonetheless, that it could be a very long conflict and one easily spread region-wide.
