The recent conflict has exposed the limitations of US military capabilities in the Gulf region, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of regional security dynamics. The US has historically relied on a 'protect and serve' model, but this approach has been shown to be ineffective in addressing the complex security challenges faced by Gulf countries. A more sustainable solution requires a collaborative approach that prioritizes regional cooperation and capacity-building.
