Gulf Leaders Convene in Saudi Arabia Amid U.S.-Iran Tensions
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) leaders met in Saudi Arabia to discuss the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, marking their first in-person summit since the war began. The meeting, hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, focused on regional security and the need for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. The GCC leaders emphasized the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil and gas supplies. The summit coincided with the UAE's decision to leave OPEC, further complicating the region's energy dynamics.
