On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Dr. Abdulaziz Sager, the founder and chairman of the Gulf Research Center. He discusses the anger of the Gulf States against the US and Israel for starting the war on Iran and Iran’s strikes against Gulf civilian and energy facilities, what President Donald Trump meant when he said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is “fighting with us,” the Gulf’s position on defending their countries’ territory while not joining the war on Iran, the lack of any regional consultation from Washington towards the GCC since the JCPOA, the need for a new security architecture between the GCC and Iran, whether the Gulf States will keep the US bases in the region after the war on Iran, Israel becoming a major threat to Gulf States, how Russia and China could have a bigger role in the region by pursuing deescalation with their close relationship with Iran, and much more.
