Americans have their fingers everywhere. Their foreign policy is truly bewildering.

As for the long term implications, I don't see any solutions in the coming decades where a peace can be reached.
No green light was given.
Just propaganda. Iran did not expect nor anticipate Arab state intervention against their assault. Jordan had already been in touch with a number of Arab leaders regarding their potential actions. All agreed to back them.
This was a serious attack that failed. Iran will have to sweat now for a while. Of course they could turn to Russia for help?
