LIVE: Trump's Gulf Allies Question US Defence Umbrella After US Iran War

The US-Iran deal may have ended months of conflict, but it has opened a new debate across the Gulf. After enduring missile attacks, disruptions to oil exports, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf states are reassessing long-held assumptions about regional security. For decades, countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar relied on the American security umbrella to deter major threats. But the Iran war exposed vulnerabilities, raised questions about US military protection, and highlighted Tehran's ability to withstand sustained pressure. As Washington and Tehran move toward a formal agreement, Gulf leaders are increasingly exploring new security partnerships, defence investments, and diplomatic engagement with Iran. Joshua Barnes tells you why the deal has left many Gulf capitals uneasy. ----------------------------------------------- Trump | Gulf | US Defence | Iran War | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #trump #gulf #usdefence #iranwar #firstpostlive #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
