US Approves Over $8 Billion Arms Sales To Gulf Allies Amid Fragile Iran Ceasefire

The United States approved over $8.6 billion in arms sales to four Middle Eastern allies – the UAE, Israel, Qatar, and Kuwait, waiving congressional review by declaring a national security emergency. This move reflects U.S. national security interests and coincides with record global military spending. Additionally, arms sales to Taiwan, previously delayed, have also been approved.
