Security think tank: The Persian Gulf is reconsidering its security reliance on the United States In a report written by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, which is one of the most important Western think tanks focused on security and safety issues, the Persian Gulf countries will have to reorganize their defense structure, on which they have spent trillions of dollars, due to the damage caused by the war to their economies and doubts The growing concern about the value and effectiveness of American military bases against Iranian attacks. According to this report, Iran will consider any reduction of the US military presence in the region or a complete withdrawal of its forces as a "strategic success and confirmation of its stability and resistance" and will use this to embarrass the Persian Gulf countries for their decades-long efforts to obtain the support and protection of the US. The report says that the war also revealed another unpleasant truth for these countries: not only the purchase of American weapons worth trillions of dollars at a critical moment did not lead to the support and defense of the United States, but that their armies are not sufficiently prepared for a new type of air war. This international institute based in London writes that the public opinion view of the Persian Gulf countries towards America is also changing and the position of this country in the eyes of the residents of the region has changed from a "security provider" to a "strategic risk factor".
