Blinken: Allies in Middle East Losing Trust
Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that America's allies in the Middle East have begun to feel disappointed with its ability to guarantee their security, amidst the ongoing war with Iran and the region's exposure to attacks from Tehran and related groups. He emphasized that the diplomatic route is the best solution to resolve the crisis, especially given the lack of clarity about the possibility of achieving a quick military victory, as Iran continues to produce and stockpile weapons despite American strikes. He noted that some Gulf countries have started seeking to strengthen their security relations with other parties and are engaging in direct dialogue with Iran to reduce attacks and prevent the escalation of the conflict, which has high military and economic costs—possibly reaching up to $38 billion by August 2026.
