The Iran war has had a big impact on Gulf states.

A temporary deal between the US and Iran stopped the fighting, but there are still concerns about the future.

Gulf states are worried about the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

The initial deal said the shipping channel would open in 30 days if the US lifted its blockade of Iranian ports and ships.

The deal also included a $300 billion fund to rebuild Iran, which Gulf states might contribute to.

The US and Israel's war in Iran affected global energy markets and involved Gulf states.

Iranian missiles and drones targeted countries like the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Some Gulf states were attacked again over the weekend.

Gulf nations will have to live with a less predictable and more violent Iran after the war.

The US accused Iran of attacking ships in the Gulf and hit back at Iranian military targets.

Gulf leaders welcomed the US-Iran deal, but their support is limited.

The deal gives the region a way to stop the war without solving the underlying conflict.

The deal is not about trusting Iran, but about creating a mechanism to prevent escalation.

The Gulf priority is freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and protection of oil and gas infrastructure.

The plan may involve compromises, like fees to transit through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran insists on a fee, but the US has rejected it.

There is no better plan than the current one.

The alternative is more attacks, higher costs, and greater uncertainty.

Iran's chief negotiator has talked to Oman about managing the Strait of Hormuz.

The Qatari prime minister also visited Oman to discuss the strait's management.

Over 100 commercial ships passed through the strait daily before the US-Israel attacks on Iran.

Any attempts to compromise on the Strait of Hormuz's international nature will have disastrous consequences.

The memorandum of understanding between Iran and Oman could give Iran oversight of Gulf state exports.

The interim deal does not address Iran's missile capabilities.

This leaves a major threat to the region, especially for countries hit by Iranian missiles.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited the Gulf and mentioned the issue of Iranian missiles.

Mr. Rubio said the US would not undermine the security of its allies in the region.

Other aggressors around the world might look to what Iran gains in negotiations and try to emulate it.

This could set a dangerous precedent.

The Gulf will not return to normal after the war.

The damage to the region's energy infrastructure is a major concern.

Attacks caused up to $58 billion in damage to Gulf Cooperation Council members.

Qatar's Ras Laffan liquid natural gas facilities were targeted, affecting the Qatari state's revenue.

Saudi Arabia bypassed restrictions in the Persian Gulf by using its East-West Pipeline.

But the pipeline and the Yanbu processing facility were also targeted during the war.

The Gulf will recover physically, but it will not go back to how it was before.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE have the resources to repair damaged infrastructure and restore logistics.
