Blinken: Middle East allies losing confidence in US
Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed concern over the disappointment of U.S. allies in the Middle East regarding America's ability to ensure their security, especially amid ongoing Iranian attacks and damage to American bases in the region. He indicated that the diplomatic path is the best solution to end the conflict, emphasizing that a swift military resolution is uncertain due to Iran's capability to produce weapons. This comes alongside increased Gulf discussions about relying on Washington and expanding dialogue with Iran to reduce tensions, amid military and economic costs reaching approximately $38 billion until August 2026, with expectations for these costs to rise.
