Gulf States to Urge Trump Against Escalation With Iran at Tuesday Meeting

The GCC's push reflects a shared interest in de-escalation even where members disagree on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, exposing the gap between Gulf security priorities and Washington's posture. For markets, the significance is less about any single outcome than about whether regional capitals can shape US decision-making at all. Whether the meeting produces a concrete de-escalation channel, or the divisions among the six persist, is the open question worth watching.
