UANI
Releases Updated GCC Resource Ahead of Arab Summit
Persian Gulf Countries
Play Vital Role in Confronting Iranian Aggression
(New York, N.Y.) - Ahead of meetings of the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) and the Arab League, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI)
is releasing an updated resource on the vital role the Arab world
plays in confronting Iranian aggression.
Iran's
aggressive and expansionist behavior was the driving force behind the
1981 creation of the GCC, a regional political, economic, and
security alliance. Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council details both historical and contemporary examples
of Iran's attempts to exacerbate internal sectarian divides, provoke
unrest, and topple Arab monarchies.
For
example, this month, Iran targeted Saudi Arabia by supplying Yemen's
Houthis with missiles and drones, which they used to attack Saudi
cities and oil infrastructure. Last year, the Houthis fired at Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, causing
Riyadh to suspend oil shipments.
The
report also includes detailed recommendations, including the
possibility of designating more GCC countries as major non-NATO
allies; bolstering
GCC ties with other U.S. regional allies like Egypt and Israel; and
creating a formal mechanism for GCC consultation during negotiations
for a new Iran nuclear deal. Bolstering the U.S. alliance with the
GCC should become an essential pillar of U.S. Middle East policy that
reverses the instability that has afflicted the region in recent
years.
