Gulf states appear skeptical of Iran deal
Gulf states like the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain express skepticism about the US-Iran deal, fearing it preserves Iran's military capabilities and provides funds to strengthen its armed forces. Despite US assurances, Gulf allies remain uneasy, viewing the agreement as potentially worse than the pre-war situation, though they support the ceasefire as preferable to war.
