The Gulf Cooperation Council will cease to be a major geopolitical factor in the Middle East after the US-Iran war
What Jiang said
“The GCC, regardless of what happens, will no longer be a major geopolitical factor in the Middle East anymore. A lot of them will be destroyed because of this war.”
Analysis
GCC states are weak and don't work well together. The war will destroy their relevance as they fracture between Iranian and Israeli alignment.
