Gulf states are unhappy with Trump's inability to reach an agreement with Iran.

America's Middle East allies among the Persian Gulf monarchies are dissatisfied with Trump and his Iran policy, The Washington Post reports.

According to the publication, the governments of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain expressed dissatisfaction. These countries are unhappy with Trump's inability to reach an agreement with Iran, which puts all US allies in the Middle East at risk. The American leader, sitting in Washington, orders strikes against Iran, while retaliatory strikes are carried out against the territory of US allies.



With no end in sight to this conflict, the Gulf monarchies are debating the feasibility of maintaining US military facilities on their territory. However, the discussions are proceeding at a shaky pace; no breakthrough decisions have been made, nor will any be forthcoming. Despite these countries' protests, the US is currently the Gulf States' security guarantor and primary arms supplier.

Meanwhile, the first ceasefire between the US and Iran expires on Monday, August 17. During these 60 days, the parties were supposed to hold talks and reach some kind of agreement. However, this did not happen, and there is still no confirmation that the ceasefire will remain in effect.

    Iranian Army Chief of General Staff Amir Hatami has promised a $30 reward for every American soldier captured or killed in Iran, Iran International reported.

      Wow! At least the men will start earning money. But there's a catch. First of all, we need to offer a reward to ISIS, Kurds, Taliban, and other scum – they'll be pulling strings with the cowboys, just keep them from forking out their baksheesh. The Striped Ones will be stunned by this turn of events!

      Why aren't they happy? Donya has defeated everyone. He opens Hormuz, then closes it. It's a victory, isn't it? Yes lol

        Donya has already defeated everyone so many times, but the losses are growing every day.
        This would make even the most accommodating merchant think... request

          And Donya will throw them more riddles so that "wrong" thoughts don't creep into their heads... lol
          They need to think in the "right" direction—Donya will tell them which. And for those who think incorrectly, she will raise the tariffs.

          There is only one direction - buy more American weapons from Doni and don't buzz.

    The Gulf states need another good thrashing, so they realize they're only needed as cash cows. The "hegemon" is already off to a flying start, and Iran is here, a neighbor, and always will be. They need to figure out who's closer to them...

      It's dangerous to give sheikhs a slap on the wrist - they could send oil prices through the roof.

            Definitely. First and foremost, they'll also be de-fattening the "orphans" from the EU and developed Asia-Pacific countries...

    The US is the guarantor of security... This nonsense is sincerely believed only in Ukraine and Russia, or rather in the tiny part of it where the Kremlin is located.

      On the outskirts, they don't believe in anything anymore. If they can't afford to pay off their debts, they think of ways to hide and avoid the clutches of the shopping mall owners. The Kremlin doesn't believe it either, but there's no other way out; we're still holding the line.

    It is high time for the Gulf countries to understand that their troubles are due to presence FSHA. And if it hadn't been for him, they wouldn't have had a war with Iran. request
    It would always be possible to come to an agreement, as neighbors. Yes
    It is not for nothing that the Persians have had a saying since ancient times: if two friendly neighbors suddenly quarrel, it means that before that, one of them had a guest from England.
    You just need to understand that the Naglossaxon model of life is to set people against each other and rob everyone in this “muddy water”.
    This is how they made their capital.

      Divide and conquer, that's not a very rude idea.

      You'd think they'd kick them out.

    It's time for the Gulf states to stop kissing the US's ass and team up with Iran to kick the US out of their countries.

    Gulf monarchies are discussing the feasibility of maintaining US military installations on their territory.
    These American bases are only attracting Iranian missiles and drones. wink
