DW NewsThe United States and Iran are preparing to begin talks on a long-term agreement to end months of conflict. But while the deal may pause the fighting, it has raised new questions across the Gulf. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait spent months facing missile attacks, drone strikes and disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. How many Gulf leaders are reassessing their security strategies. Can they still rely on the United States? Has Iran emerged from the conflict stronger than expected? And what does the agreement mean for the future of the Gulf region? We examine how the US-Iran agreement could reshape regional alliances, Gulf security and the balance of power in the Middle East.
