U.S. President Donald Trump plans to meet leaders from six Gulf Cooperation Council states on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York next Tuesday, Axios reported. The discussions will focus on next steps for the war with Iran and U.S. proposals for a postwar strategy. This comes as Washington's ceasefire efforts have stalled, and Gulf states face escalating attacks from Iran and Iran-aligned Houthi militants, which have disrupted energy exports and rattled oil markets. Saudi Arabia recently shut its East-West Pipeline due to a drone attack, though additional shipments through Oman have eased supply fears. Trump also claimed Wednesday that Iran wants to make a deal, saying the war is nearing its end.
