In this episode of MEnbar, host Marc Owen Jones welcomes Frédéric Schneider, a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, to discuss the economic aftershocks of the Iran-Israel war and their implications for the Gulf. Schneider examines pressure on diversification efforts, investor uncertainty, and capital outflows, while also assessing the fragility of the Gulf’s reliance on U.S. security guarantees. As regional instability persists, he reflects on what it will take to build genuine economic resilience and whether the Gulf’s current models are equipped to handle future shocks.
