Iran’s missile strikes test Gulf countries' patience, US ties and economic stability

GCC countries are facing sustained Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting economic hubs and infrastructure across the region. The UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar have all reported interceptions in recent hours, with the UAE alone engaging 19 ballistic missiles and 26 drones in a single day. Debris from intercepted projectiles has caused damage in Abu Dhabi's Khalifa economic zone, while GCC nations warn the conflict is threatening commercial confidence, trade routes and regional stability. The Gulf states have absorbed 85 percent of Iranian projectiles fired during the war, transforming them into de facto front lines in a conflict they tried to prevent.
