Gulf states have conveyed to the US that the agreement reached with Iran is "very bad," according to a report. President Donald Trump responded by saying that critics of the deal should be educated, "even if they are my friends."
Gulf states have privately told the United States that the US-Iran agreement is "very bad," a report published Tuesday evening says. President Donald Trump responded to the criticism by asserting that those who oppose the deal should be educated, even if they are his friends. The exchange comes as the Trump administration continues to defend the nuclear accord with Tehran against pushback from both Gulf allies and Israeli officials. The Zioneer previously reported that Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon called the framework "very bad for Israel, bad for the Gulf states, and bad for the United States." Trump's latest remark appears to dismiss such concerns, insisting that critics lack understanding of the agreement. The Gulf states' reported message underscores regional unease alongside Israel's own stated reservations, though no further details on the content of the Gulf message have been disclosed.
