Renewed US-Iran war would hit Gulf countries hard

Yet again, countries in the Gulf region find themselves on the front line between the United States and Iran.

At the NATO summit in Ankara on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said the US's interim accord to end the conflict was "over." And Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said there had been major violations of the accord, a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries in mid-June.

Overnight, the United States bombed sites in Iran, which responded by targeting 85 US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. All countries in the Gulf region have something to lose should fighting escalate again.
