Gulf Nations Express Frustration Over Iran Missile Gap in Draft U.S. Deal

Gulf states have voiced growing frustration over the draft U.S.-Iran peace agreement. Analysts note the deal omits any provisions on Iran's missile and drone programs. The exclusion leaves a key regional security concern unaddressed. Gulf governments fear that unchecked Iranian rockets could threaten their airspace. The draft also fails to limit Iran's unmanned aerial systems. Without such controls, the agreement offers little reassurance to the Gulf. The gap fuels doubts about Washington's ability to act as a security guarantor. Regional leaders are watching for further negotiations that might fill the missile gap.
