Gulf leaders have gathered in Saudi Arabia for a high-level summit focused on the ongoing war involving Iran, marking their first in-person meeting since the conflict escalated two months ago.
The meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) was held in Jeddah and hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It brought together leaders and representatives from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
According to reports, the discussions centered on regional security concerns, recent Iranian missile and drone attacks, and coordination among Gulf states in response to the widening conflict. Officials also reviewed broader international developments linked to the crisis and explored diplomatic and security strategies to reduce tensions.
The summit comes amid heightened instability in the region, with Gulf countries increasingly affected by spillover from the Iran-related conflict. Energy infrastructure and shipping routes remain key points of concern as global markets watch developments closely.
Leaders at the meeting emphasized the need for unity and stronger coordination among GCC members as they navigate one of the most serious regional security crises in recent years.
