Gulf Allies Frustrated With Trump's Iran Strategy

Gulf allies, frustrated by what they call an unclear U.S. strategy on Iran, have privately asked Washington for additional air-defense interceptors and guarantees of continued military protection, according to a Wall Street Journal report. President Trump called off planned strikes on Iran after diplomatic efforts advanced a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while Saudi Arabia and Qatar push for talks and the UAE favors escalation. A fresh Qatari proposal reportedly drew a positive response from Tehran.
