No part of the US-Iran deal undermines the security and stability of US allies in the Gulf, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio assures the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

“We are open for peace but a peace that is enduring, that is real and that in no way undermines our security, our prosperity or the security or prosperity of our allies in the Gulf region,” Rubio says in his speech at the GCC-US joint ministerial meeting in Manama, Bahrain.
