Rory Stewart warns US and Israel strikes are destroying Gulf economies

Rory Stewart told Sky News that American and Israeli attacks are pushing Gulf economies back by 10 to 15 years. He pointed to Dubai, where decades of development turned desert land into financial and innovation hubs, now being devastated. Stewart said Gulf states like the UAE and Qatar once relied on US bases for protection but are now paying the price, becoming targets themselves. He warned that continued involvement risks a global economic meltdown and the start of a larger war, urging all foreign forces to withdraw immediately. Support stories that matter.
