There is growing unease among the GCC States over costs of the US's unclear Iran strategy and the effectiveness of its security guarantees

Iran's latest strike wave is intensifying fears of a wider regional war, with the IRGC claiming hits on multiple U.S. bases across the Gulf. As missiles and drones trigger nonstop interceptions, new threats from Tehran are raising the stakes even further. The escalation comes just as U.S. Marines move into the region, fuelling concerns of an imminent ground conflict. Meanwhile, Washington insists talks are possible, even as rhetoric on both sides sharpens. With new fronts opening and deadlines issued, the conflict appears to be entering a far more volatile and dangerous phase.

Breaking reports claim that Iran has struck a US E-3 Sentry at Prince Sultan Air Base, potentially destroying one of America's most critical airborne warning and control systems. The high-value asset, often described as the "eye in the sky," plays a key role in detecting threats and coordinating air operations. Reports also suggest damage to additional refuelling aircraft. While verification remains limited, the incident, if confirmed, marks a major escalation and a significant blow to US airpower in the region.
