A new Gulf-Iran relationship should separate rivalry from confrontation | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, Gulf states have faced a familiar problem: how to contain the risks posed by Iran without allowing rivalry to turn into open war. The sources of tension were never difficult to identify. Iranâs nuclear programme, ballistic missiles, ties to armed groups across the region and the uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz have shaped Gulf security calculations for decades. The challenge was always to keep those risks within limits. That produced a pragmatic approach across much of
The Iran war tested the Gulfâs multipolar strategy, but it did not end it | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For several years, Gulf states have been widening the circle of their international partnerships. The logic was straightforward: keep the US as the principal security partner, while building deeper economic ties with China, India, Europe and the rest of Asia. The Iran war has meant that strategy needs a review. When the crisis turned military, the US quickly returned to the centre of the regional security equation. Its military reach, intelligence capabilities, early-warning systems and naval an
The future of Gulf security lies beyond Hormuz | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most important lesson of the 2026 Hormuz crisis is not that the strait has become less important.

Read excerpt
The argument over the Strait of Hormuz is no longer only about whether ships can pass safely, or whether international naval forces can reopen the waterway after another round of escalation. The deeper question is who gets to decide how the strait operates. For years, freedom of navigation through Hormuz has rested on a fragile combination of deterrence, naval presence and temporary understandings. That may be enough to manage a crisis for a few days or weeks. It is not enough to provide lasting
Gulf countries are in a grey zone between war and peace | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Live updates: Follow the latest news on Iran war The Gulfâs dilemma today is not that it is living through a war, but that it no longer knows full peace. Mutual escalation between Washington and Tehran, tensions over maritime navigation, and the persistence of diplomatic channels all point to a region that is neither moving toward a stable settlement nor sliding into all-out conflict. It is trapped in an intermediate space: a state of neither war nor peace, or what may be described as a grey z
