The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council consists of the Kingdoms of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, all of which are US allies in the region.
This announcement was published after the 23rd meeting of the Joint Defense Council of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council was held in Bahrain; The meeting was attended by the defense ministers of the member countries.
The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council established a joint military command at its summit in Kuwait in December 2013 with the aim of planning and managing joint military operations and strengthening the defense capabilities of the member states against possible threats against their territory, airspace, waters and interests.
The Arab countries along the Persian Gulf, most of which host large US military bases, have been repeatedly targeted by Iranian missile and drone attacks since the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran on February 28.
The war has disrupted air travel and sea transportation and raised concerns about the security of the region’s vital oil and gas exports.
