The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), AlBudaiwi, criticized Iran for disrupting trade in the Strait of Hormuz and carrying out attacks on GCC members. He emphasized that Iran should be held responsible for the consequences of its actions. The GCC seeks dialogue to resolve the crisis, while the Trump administration pressures Iran economically. AlBudaiwi also expressed hope for peace talks between Israel and Lebanon, urging a win-win outcome for the Lebanese people. The GCC is facing economic challenges due to Iranian strikes but is managing the situation professionally.
