Trump's team is drafting a plan for the conditions after the war ends, and this plan is expected to be finalized after the U.S. midterm elections.
Consequences of the War for Gulf Countries
The Arab countries along the Gulf, which host U.S. military bases, have been targeted by extensive Iranian attacks during the war. These countries are facing significant economic losses due to disruptions in oil and gas exports, highlighting the need for precise planning and international cooperation.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, is also seeking a meeting with Trump in New York. However, an Israeli source has stated that no meeting between the two sides has been planned so far.
Trump, in a statement, referred to the state of the war and expressed hope that they may be close to the end of the war. He also claimed that Iran is seeking an agreement and that the U.S. has received this directly from Iran.
Presence of Other Countries at the Meeting
Axios has reported that the scope of the meeting may expand, with leaders from other Arab and Muslim countries potentially joining. The U.S. State Department sent out initial invitations for this meeting on Wednesday.
