Foreign policy: The Persian Gulf cannot afford a new round of war with Iran The Trump administration's assessment of the region's ability to withstand a new round of conflicts is far from reality. Since the start of the war on February 28, Iranian missile and drone attacks have hit refineries, liquefied natural gas production facilities and export terminals in the Persian Gulf states. At the same time, Yemen's Ansarullah has opened another front in the Red Sea, and rebuilding much of the damaged infrastructure may take years; The cost of these damages will also be passed on to energy importers in Asia, Europe and developing countries.
