The US–Israel war with Iran has exposed weaknesses in Gulf security and triggered a reassessment of defence strategies. Questions over external guarantees and partner roles are shaping new approaches. This shift is driving interest in regional integration and new technologies as states adapt to a changing security landscape.
This event discusses:
- What lessons have Gulf states drawn from the conflict with Iran?
- What role will external partners play in future Gulf security - particularly the US?
- Will Gulf states move towards deeper regional defence cooperation?
- How are drones and other new technologies shaping defence strategies in the region?
- What frameworks could define Gulf security after the war?
