US-allied Gulf States increasingly frustrated with Trump's Iran approach - report
Due to growing frustration with the Trump administration’s handling of Iran, they may be considering exploring new arrangements, according to the report.
The US-allied Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain, are growing increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump's approach to Iran, according to a report by the Washington Post. The Gulf states are expressing concerns that Trump may not be able to secure peace with Iran through diplomatic channels, with some officials alleging that anger with the US has reached its highest point since the war with Iran began in February.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have recently signed the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, which stipulates collective defense similar to NATO's Article 5, signaling a potential diversification of security and defense partnerships away from the US.
