Gulf states are currently assessing their security options in light of persistent threats from Iran's regime. This includes evaluating potential military alliances that could enhance their defensive capabilities.

The idea of establishing a Gulf-style NATO is gaining traction, as regional actors seek to bolster their collective security against Iranian aggression. Such a coalition could significantly alter existing alliances and defense strategies.
