IISS report: Gulf states must overhaul trillion-dollar defence strategy after US-Iran war

IISS releases study questioning Gulf states' defence strategy and US military presence

The International Institute for Strategic Studies published findings that Gulf states must reconfigure their trillion-dollar defence spending due to war damage and the questionable value of US bases. The report identifies major shortcomings including overwhelming reliance on US-supplied air and missile-defence systems, failure to achieve regional defence integration, shortage of minesweeping capability, and prohibitive costs of expensive systems against cheaper drones and missiles.

“not only has their trillion-dollar acquisition of US weapons not translated into US protection at the crucial time, but their respective militaries are also not adequately prepared for the new kind of attritional air war”
