The Gulf Cooperation Council states have taken a firm stance against the recent Israeli military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, expressing their opposition to these actions. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE have all issued statements condemning the attacks and calling for a diplomatic solution to maintain regional security and stability.

The GCC Ministerial Council emphasized the importance of returning to diplomacy and an immediate ceasefire to safeguard the region's security. They also highlighted the need to preserve maritime security and counter activities that threaten the stability of the region.

Despite past negative experiences with Iran, Gulf states are adopting a pragmatic approach focused on dialogue and de-escalation. Direct communications between Gulf leaders and influential countries aim to push for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and halt military actions.

These efforts are crucial as Israel continues to pursue aggressive policies in the region, rejecting calls for a ceasefire and undermining the two-state solution. The GCC states are urging the US to pressure Israel to halt its military operations and resume nuclear negotiations with Iran to prevent further instability in the Middle East.
