Iranian Missiles and Drones Threatening Gulf Nations Excluded from Agreement "Only 60 Days of Free Passage"... Crude Oil Exports and Food Imports in Crisis Trump Charges Gulf Nations for 'Iran Reconstruction Fund' [Anchor] Critics point out that behind the peace agreement between the United States and Iran lies the devastating humiliation suffered by once-steadfast pro-American allies. Not only were Gulf nations abandoned by the U.S. security umbrella, but they have also been forced to shoulder the astronomical bills in full to appease Iran. Reporter Kwon Young-hee reports. [Reporter] The essence of the Middle East peace agreement put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump is thorough "America First." While he secured spectacular political achievements by preventing U.S. military casualties and stabilizing oil prices, the security of his former allies in the Gulf bloc was completely ignored. The issues regarding Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, which directly threaten Gulf nations, were quietly omitted from the peace agreement. [Huma Bakai / International Relations Expert: Iran's missile program has now been recognized as a fait accompli, and President Trump has effectively condoned it.] Having seized military initiative, Iran has now set out to tighten the economic leash on the Gulf states. With the declaration of unilateral control, stating that "free passage through the Strait of Hormuz lasts only 60 days," countries are now facing the immediate threat of having their crude oil exports and even food imports blocked. [Ishan Banu / Agricultural Analyst: Countries in this region rely heavily on this waterway for the container import of essential goods, including food.] Even more absurd is the cost of this illogical peace. In an attempt to appease Iran's grievances, the Trump administration pushed for the creation of a "Security and Reconstruction Fund," shifting the majority of the burden onto Gulf states. While Gulf nations are suffering from missile fears and a crisis of logistical isolation, they are now in a position where they must pour their own national treasuries into enriching their adversaries. These moves by the United States have driven countries in the region down the path of fending for themselves. As they tighten their ties with China and Russia to fill the security vacuum, the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East is being shaken to its very roots. This is Kwon Young-hee from YTN.
