GCC Weighs Alternative Alliances Amid US Partnership Uncertainty and Ongoing Conflict

The initial day of the ceasefire bears a striking resemblance to previous days, sparking speculation that it may take some time for the calm to settle in. GCC leaders are now grappling with the concept of a lasting resolution, which hinges on two primary conditions: Iran’s assurance that it will refrain from employing retaliatory tactics in the future and the establishment of a more substantial defensive buffer. In response, we can anticipate the signing of defensive agreements with the US and European nations.

GCC leaders have come to the realization that the US does not provide a stable or strategic partnership, prompting them to explore alternative options or deepen cooperation among themselves. As a result, we can expect a heightened diplomatic effort and increased pressure on the international community, particularly at the UN, to provide guarantees that will facilitate security in the Strait of Hormuz and GCC airspace. This push is further underscored by the severely strained relationship with Iran.
