Following the announcement of a temporary ceasefire between Iran and the United States, nations across the Middle East, particularly members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), have issued statements welcoming the development.
While expressing relief at the pause in hostilities, regional leaders have uniformly emphasized that the truce must serve as a stepping stone toward comprehensive, permanent negotiations to end the conflict entirely. The collective response underscores a regional consensus that a durable political solution, rather than a temporary military halt, is the ultimate goal for ensuring long-term stability in the Middle East.
