Gulf Arab states have formally welcomed a major diplomatic breakthrough following a comprehensive agreement between the United States and Iran to permanently end military operations across multiple regional fronts. The monumental deal, heavily mediated by Qatari diplomats who concluded a grueling 17-hour mission in Tehran on Monday, paves the way for the immediate and full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. A formal signing ceremony is officially scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland, with preparatory meetings set to commence in Doha. For millions of expatriates across the GCC, the resolution brings a much-needed sigh of relief, promising to stabilize regional financial markets, secure commercial flight corridors, and significantly reduce geopolitical risks that have weighed on international shipping and corporate investments over the past several months.
