Gulf nations doubt US Iran threat response
The article points to increasing doubts among Gulf countries regarding the United States' ability to provide them with security protection against Iran, especially after the heavy costs these countries bore due to the American-Israeli war on Tehran. Although the Gulf Cooperation Council has cooperated with Washington through arms sales and the construction of military bases, confidence in the American security umbrella has declined, particularly after Trump's hints about possibly intensifying the war against Iran and his direct threats, which revived fears of Iranian retaliatory attacks in response to American strikes. Additionally, the Gulf nations are seeking new strategic partners such as China and Russia, due to financial pressures and a decline in trust in the American role, amid ongoing regional tensions and the postponement of some discussions related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
