Wider Iran-US Conflict Threatens Gulf Security and Investment, Political Scientist Warns

Dr. Saeed El-Zoghbi, a professor of political science, has warned that an expansion of the conflict between Iran and the United States could threaten the security of Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

His warning focused on the potential consequences for Gulf states if the confrontation broadens, placing regional security at the center of concerns over further escalation.

El-Zoghbi also highlighted the threat to investment, linking the risks of a wider conflict to both security and economic interests in the Gulf.

The warning concerns the possible fallout from an expanded confrontation, rather than confirmed security incidents or investment losses in GCC countries.
