Gulf Leaders’ Faith in US Protection Wavers Amid Fears of Renewed Iran War

Few Gulf leaders still count on the familiar assurances of American support, according to a commentary examining regional doubts about Washington’s ability to protect its partners.

The article describes a loss of confidence among Gulf states as they fear a renewed war with Iran. Its central concern is whether the United States can provide the protection those countries have traditionally expected.

The argument focuses on perceptions of American reliability rather than a stated change in US commitments. It presents Gulf leaders’ diminishing trust as a key issue in the regional security debate.

A separate commentary in the press review examines the possibility of the United Kingdom returning to the European Union, considering what it characterises as a potentially costly mistake.

The review also includes an article exploring an app-based approach to encouraging volunteer work in the age of artificial intelligence, shifting the focus from geopolitical uncertainty to technology’s role in civic participation.
