President Donald Trump brokered a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran started with him using an expletive to express his frustrations with both countries for allegedly breaking the agreement, and it ended with a report that his weekend strikes against Tehran’s nuclear program may not have been as destructive as first said.

Gulf states with strong ties to President Donald Trump are emerging from the war between Israel and Iran with greater regional influence and with some of their longstanding security concerns over Iranian power assuaged.
