US EditionGulf countries urge de-escalation between US and Iran
Gulf Cooperation Council states reject use of their airspace and bases for US attacks on Iran to avoid regional conflict and protect vital oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Gulf states have publicly and privately refused to allow their land, airspace, or bases to be used for attacks on Iran, amid diplomatic efforts to prevent a US strike.
- Because roughly 20 million barrels a day transit the Strait of Hormuz, past interventions like Libya , Iraq , and Afghanistan have hardened Gulf risk aversion.
- Heightened tensions in the last 48 hours saw US military moves, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, and airline cancellations amid ongoing diplomacy with regional mediators like Qatar and Oman.
- Energy-Price moves and IMF warnings signal risks, as crude is up almost 15% this year and Brent trades at $70 a barrel, while the IMF warns a Gulf conflict could cut global growth.
- Far from closing off options, Gulf proposals—missile‑notification channels, maritime deconfliction and expanded inspections—could form a new regional security architecture if taken seriously, Gulf states said.
