According to several sources, Gulf Arab states plan to urge U.S. President Donald Trump to avoid further escalation with Iran during a meeting on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Officials from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, are coordinating for the meeting. The GCC states want to end the conflict, which has resulted in thousands of Iranian missiles and drone attacks on their territory and vessels, and caused economic contraction or significant slowdown due to disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. While there are internal disagreements among Gulf governments on how to handle Iran and its claims over the key energy waterway, they hope the meeting with Trump will yield progress.
