Iran Calls for Review of Gulf Ties, Denies Role in Saudi Oil Attacks

Iran's Ambassador Alireza Enayati called for a serious review of Gulf Cooperation Council ties, Iraq, and Iran, citing decades of regional exclusion and reliance on external powers. Since February 28, Gulf Arab states have faced over 2,000 missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. and critical infrastructure, with all Gulf states condemning Iran. Enayati denied Iran's involvement in attacks on Saudi oil facilities. Saudi Arabia and Iran restored diplomatic relations in 2023 amid ongoing regional tensions and frustration with U.S. security policies.
