The foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will hold an emergency meeting this Sunday via videoconference to discuss a 'unified response' to the escalation of aggression from Iran. This measure comes after the second consecutive day of Iranian attacks against various states in the region, a situation that forced the closure of regional airports and compelled the meeting, which includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain, to be held virtually. According to diplomatic sources, the meeting will focus exclusively on coordinating actions in response to the direct offensive against their territories. The diplomatic climate has quickly tensed with cross-statements marking a strong distancing from Tehran. Despite these justifications, concern in the Gulf persists over the violation of its sovereignty and the possibility that the conflict could lead to a regional war of incalculable scale. A high-ranking official from the United Arab Emirates warned that Iran's war is 'not with its neighbors' and described the bombings as a 'miscalculation' that has left the Persian regime isolated at a critical moment. The Israeli army bombed strategic targets in the heart of Tehran. In line with this, according to what the Argentine News Agency learned, Saudi Arabia has formally summoned the Iranian ambassador to demand explanations for what it called 'brazen attacks' against the kingdom and other allied countries. In an attempt to avoid a direct confrontation with the oil monarchies, Iran's security chief assured that the impacts do not seek to harm the countries of the region, but that they 'aim against US bases' installed in those territories.
