Gulf states are preparing for potential conflict with Iran, evidenced by remote work protocols at Aramco and regional war preparations. Concurrently, these states are reportedly diversifying security partnerships due to a perceived reduction in US security guarantees. This shift is complicated by an emerging divergence among Gulf states regarding their long-term strategy toward Tehran, challenging US assumptions of a unified regional approach.
