of gulf state analytics he says the u.a.e. is less likely to change its position than the other countries involved. among the countries blockading qatar it is the u.a.e. that is most rigid in its position against doa whereas the saudis have viewed the alleged qatari threat as more of a strategic issue for i would be this is really very much about ideology and ultimately this agenda of blockading qatar came from up with dobby and i think out of all of the gulf countries putting pressure on cuts are the u.a.e. will be the last one to decide to ease that pressure so it definitely makes sense that. would use its leverage over riyadh to block any u.s. backed plan aimed at bringing the g.c.c. countries back together the trump administration is seen this arabian feud is a big threat to u.s. interests in the sense that washington would like to have all of the g.c.c. member states united against the islamic republic of iran and this issue has definitely been an irritant for the administration but you know i the defacto ruler of the u.a

iran has carried a military exercises in the gulf using a more u.s.aircraft carrier as target practice to her old navy and air force are taking part in the coordinated drills the move is gaining attention mainly because a real american aircraft carrier is in the region sebag has more. from land and sea it's a show of military strength from iran in the gulf at a time when tensions remain high with the united states just days ago iran said one of its passenger planes was intercepted by u.s. fighter jets as it flew over syria iran's military leaders want to send a strong message. the strategic purpose of our exercises is defensive but at the level of operation and tactic we are widely of pensive and there's nothing stronger than firing on and boarding a mock aircraft carrier the country that has the most carriers in the world the united states in recent days satellite images have shown the mock vessel being moved from the port city of under a bust it resembles the nimitz class carrier the us routinely sails into the gulf on this day the replica was used

this is the gulf news, and the main story is that india and china are putting troops back at the bordere seems to be some sort of de—escalation going on now after those clashes a week or so ago which seemed to result in a few deaths but i don't think with any sophisticated r . i don't think with any sophisticated weaponry. it sounded more like rocks and punches between these two armies, which have been building up on this contested frontier. there we re on this contested frontier. there were skirmishes and certainly this is tentatively positive news that the situation has the escalated. i think what china is trying to do with this instances while the rest of the world is distracted, just push the limits, push its borders, get troops stationed where areas are contested and slowly and gradually move the lines forward in its favour. i think the chinese government was probably expecting that with india distracted with its own covert crisis it would be a bit humiliated with the clashes in the deaths on the indian side and so would back down. actually the opposite seem to happen. narendra mod
