Summary

President Trump is set to meet with leaders from six Gulf states and potentially other Arab and Muslim leaders during the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week to discuss the ongoing war with Iran and the Trump administration's postwar strategy. This meeting comes as US military bases in these countries have faced Iranian missile and drone attacks, affecting their economies through disrupted oil and natural gas exports. The article notes that a concrete plan for the aftermath of the conflict is not expected until after November’s midterm elections, with officials suggesting an end to hostilities soon thereafter.

Story summary

On September 16, US President Donald Trump expressed hope for an end to the ongoing Iran war, stating "hopefully we are towards the end of the war," during remarks at the White House. This comes as the conflict has entered its seventh month with no immediate resolution in sight. Axios reported that Trump is expected to meet with leaders from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries — including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman — on September 22 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York to discuss next steps and a postwar strategy for the conflict. The meeting aims to address the economic and military disruptions caused by Iran's attacks on Gulf states and their oil exports, as well as plan for what happens after the war ends, which is not expected to be finalized until after the US midterm elections.
