GCC Leaders Hold First In-Person Meeting in Jeddah Since Iran Targeting Began

Leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) gathered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Monday for their first in-person meeting since Iran began targeting GCC countries two months ago, according to Al Jazeera. The meeting addresses ongoing regional developments following the incidents that started in late February 2026.

Al Jazeera reported on the event from Doha, Qatar, noting it as the first such gathering since the targeting began. The GCC includes several Arab states in the Gulf region, and the meeting focuses on collective responses to external actions.

The targeting by Iran has affected multiple GCC member countries, prompting this in-person assembly. Further details on discussions or outcomes were not immediately available in the report.
