The member states of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council are increasing their military coordination.
In response to the war with Iran, the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council plans to increase military cooperation among its six member states.
The defense ministers of these countries announced the agreement to establish a joint military command center in Kuwait on Tuesday, November 10, after their meeting in Manama, the capital of Bahrain.
Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to provide the necessary military forces for this joint center. However, the final statement of the meeting did not provide further details on the number of troops or how they would be deployed.
Jassim al-Badawi, Secretary General of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council, said at this meeting that the security of the countries in the region is a shared responsibility. Referring to what he called "Iran's barbaric aggression", he added that the military cooperation between the member states will strengthen their ability to protect their territories, assets and population.
