Tehran's strategic patience and Abu Dhabi and Riyadh's doubts about American security guarantees The Persian Gulf Arabs are preparing for a post-Trump era on the eve of the US midterm elections accompanied by a decline in Trump's popularity and a rise in oil prices. Analysts warn that if the Republican Party loses, Trump will have more motivation for military strikes, because he has nothing left to lose in the political arena. After questioning Washington's security guarantees, the Persian Gulf countries looked for alternative ways. The United Arab Emirates established a non-public communication channel with Tehran, and Saudi Arabia also countered Iran's diplomatic messages to find that American support was not particularly reliable and stable. Iran's strategy is based on patience and waiting so that the country's leaders can manage the American pressures. Tehran is trying to improve its relations with its neighbors through regional diplomacy and separation of cases and to raise the security costs of any cooperation with Israel. Israel's political situation is also considered fragile and uncertain. The results of the polls show that Netanyahu's coalition may not win the necessary seats, and the future government may not be willing to tie its national security to the political fate of the unstable American president. A possible withdrawal of America from the direct equations and Israel's unilateral action accelerates the efforts of the regional countries to balance. In such a scenario, the prospect of normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel is completely out of reach and new security arrangements will be created in the Persian Gulf.
