In this November 22, 2016 file photo, U.S. Navy sailors stand by fighter jets on the deck of the U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Persian Gulf. The United States’ Gulf allies have pushed for hawkish policies by Washington to pressure, isolate and cripple Iran, but this high-stakes strategy is now being put to the test by the surprise U.S. killing of Iran’s most powerful military commander. The killing appears to have caught America's Gulf allies off-guard and threatens to draw Gulf states further into the cross-hairs of rising tensions between Washington and Tehran.
