مجلس التعاون: الأمن وحرية الملاحة أولوية.. وروبيو: تحالفنا تعرض لاختبار قاسٍ

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), in its ministerial meeting with the United States in Manama, affirmed its welcome of all efforts aimed at de-escalation and ensuring regional security, stressing the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation in vital maritime routes. The meeting addressed developments in the Iranian nuclear issue and mediation and de-escalation efforts, emphasizing that any agreements must take into account the interests of the Gulf states and support regional stability. For his part, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed that Iran will not possess a nuclear weapon, reiterating his rejection of imposing fees in the Strait of Hormuz as "unacceptable and likely to lead to global chaos." He clarified that Washington will not accept the Strait being controlled by any single country, indicating his country's readiness to assist Iran if it focuses on the well-being of its people instead of exporting ideology. #GCC #USA #Gulf #Iran #Rubio #Hormuz #Arabic
