Donald Trump is facing growing frustration from five key Gulf allies over his handling of Iran, according to The Washington Post. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain reportedly fears Washington lacks a consistent strategy to secure lasting peace. The anger is now raising questions about America's military footprint, even as Gulf states remain dependent on U.S. weapons and intelligence. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's new defense pact with Turkey and Pakistan is being viewed as a signal to Washington. Is Riyadh's emerging “Islamic NATO” the clearest warning yet that Gulf trust is weakening?
