Abdulla Al Junaid, and Paul J. Saunders
The US-Israeli strikes in Iran have put the Gulf States in Iran’s crosshairs. In an effort to divide the United States, Israel, and the Gulf monarchies, Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz, potentially severing a fifth of the global oil supply, targeted cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, and, more recently, struck critical oil and natural gas refineries and infrastructure throughout the Gulf. The consequent oil market chaos is raising questions about the long-term viability of the Gulf States as economic powers and US security partners.
How are the Gulf States reacting to the conflict’s escalation? How will the war affect the Gulf states’ view of the United States as a security and economic partner? Is there still a way out of the conflict at this point? In this episode of Three Questions, CFTNI President Paul Saunders discusses how the Iran War has impacted the Gulf States with Abdulla Al Junaid, a longtime analyst of the region. Mr. Al Junaid is a former official of Bahrain’s National Unity Party.
