Gulf states eye settlement that curbs Iran’s threats beyond a ceasefire
Gulf states are seeking a settlement that not only halts the fighting with Iran but also diminishes Tehran's capacity to threaten the region. The states are concerned that a simple ceasefire would leave Iran's military capabilities intact, posing a continued threat to the region's stability.
Gulf governments want a ceasefire with Iran to address its military capabilities and threats. Iran's missile arsenal has been reduced by 90% since US and Israeli strikes began. Despite this, Tehran continues to launch drones and missiles at its neighbors, targeting critical infrastructure. Over 4,700 projectiles have been launched at Gulf states, killing at least 30 people. Gulf states expect a ceasefire to fundamentally change the status quo. They demand that Iran's nuclear capabilities, missiles, drones, and terror proxies be addressed. The UAE and other countries have condemned Iranian proxy attacks in the region. Iran's actions have caused a surge in energy prices and affected global trade.
