Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, have agreed on a common position ahead of a meeting with US President Donald Trump in New York on Tuesday. They intend to urge him not to allow further deterioration of relations with Iran. Representatives of the Gulf Cooperation Council are interested in ending the conflict, which has disrupted trade ties and negatively impacted their economies. The conflict between Washington and Tehran has lasted nearly seven months and has repeatedly threatened to spread war beyond the Middle East. Iranian military leadership has warned that if the US strikes again, it will respond with new types of weapons. Trump, in turn, has said he is considering scenarios ranging from a truce to the complete destruction of Iran. Earlier, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters reported that the US is preparing for a major military operation, without disclosing the source of the information. It was also reported that US military spending as of September 3 amounted to $43.6 billion, more than half of which went to ammunition.
