BREAKING: Gulf States Have Told Washington That Ending The War Is Not Enough

The Gulf states have told Washington that ending the war is not enough. They want Iran permanently degraded. But Reuters reports the United States can determine with certainty only that it has destroyed about a third of Iran’s vast missile arsenal.

The Gulf wants total security. America has delivered partial destruction. And Iran rebuilds.

Reuters reported on March 27 that four Gulf sources said any deal with Tehran must permanently curb Iran’s missile and drone capabilities and ensure global energy supplies are never again weaponised.

UAE Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba wrote in the Wall Street Journal: “A simple ceasefire isn’t enough. We need a conclusive outcome that addresses Iran’s full range of threats: nuclear capabilities, missiles, drones, terror proxies and blockades of international sea lanes.”

GCC Secretary-General Jasem Al-Budaiwi cited 5,000 missile and drone attacks on Gulf energy facilities, civilian infrastructure and maritime traffic per HuffPost citing Reuters.

He said Iran has “crossed all limits.” Ebtessam Al-Kerbi, president of the Emirates Policy Centre, told Reuters: “The real challenge is not persuading Iran to stop the war, but ensuring the Gulf is not left exposed to the same dynamics that made it possible in the first place.”See more, details. .
