A split appears to be developing within the gcc, with the uae and saudi arabia potentially taking different approaches to the conflict in the region. Reports indicate that saudi arabia and the uae have carried out covert attacks inside iran, and there are signs of a realignment of alliances in the middle east. The situation is uncertain, with some outlets suggesting a significant shift in the relationships between gcc states and their international partners, while others imply a more nuanced reassessment of alliances.
