Khamenei's Gulf unity call amid US-Iran conflict: Analysis

Mostafa Khoshcheshm in Tehran says the message continues Iran's long-standing push for Gulf states to stop hosting US military action against it, arguing Iran acted in self-defence after Gulf territory was used as a launchpad for US strikes. Marlin Hardinger in Wisconsin says the US has lost credibility and influence with Gulf states, and that Washington will need to restructure its regional position and reassure allies more forcefully. The guests also weigh the sustainability of the conflict, with Iran citing large floating oil reserves and its record of enduring past wars, while Hardinger notes economic pressure and the approaching US midterms as factors shaping how long both sides can hold out.
