According to Euronews, Gulf states are initiating a formal process to improve relations with Iran. Driven by severe economic pressures, these countries are seeking to establish a framework for co-existence despite ongoing regional conflict. This shift in policy comes as these nations face the most significant consequences of the current hostilities.

Tehran, meanwhile, continues to weaponise the Strait of Hormuz in a strategy aimed at creating division among its neighbours. The move towards regional stability remains a primary objective for Gulf leadership as they weigh the benefits of diplomacy against the persistent security threats posed by Iranian actions in the vital maritime passage.
