On November 14, 2026, Gulf Arab states demanded full compensation from Iran for extensive damage caused by thousands of missile and drone attacks since February 28, 2026. The Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) Secretary General Jasem Al Budaiwi addressed the UN Security Council, asserting that Iran is responsible for attacks targeting critical infrastructure, including airports and oil facilities. Iran's deputy ambassador countered that Gulf states facilitated U.S. aggression against Iran. The ongoing conflict has severely disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, with Saudi Arabia diverting four million barrels of crude daily. The UN warned that shipping conditions remain far below pre-war levels, with October recording the highest number of attacks on commercial shipping since the conflict began. The GCC's demands include a return to pre-war shipping conditions and addressing Gulf security concerns in any future agreements with Iran.
