Analyst Warns of Perilous Consequences in Trump’s Regional Alliances

A Middle East expert has expressed alarm over President Trump’s recent characterization of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states as key allies in his conflict with Iran, suggesting this stance poses a significant threat to regional stability.
According to Sultan Barakat, a professor of public policy at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Trump’s attempt to portray the GCC nations as unified partners in his war effort, alongside Israel, sends a concerning message to Iran that these countries are now jointly planning military actions against it.
Notably, Barakat pointed out that the GCC states were not consulted about the conflict and were drawn into it due to Trump’s actions, highlighting the potential for further destabilization in the region.
Furthermore, the professor emphasized that Trump’s continued threats to target Iran’s civilian infrastructure raise serious concerns, not only about the potential for war crimes but also about the long-term repercussions for the Gulf states, which he believes will be left to bear the consequences of Trump’s policies.
