On September 15, news analysis from Riyadh by The New York Times reported that after six months of war, Iran's missile and drone strikes on US military bases and facilities have exposed the limitations of the security commitments that Gulf Arab states have long relied on from the United States. The report stated that Iran and its allies have nearly destroyed some US military bases, attacked luxury hotels, and recently disrupted a key oil pipeline running across Saudi Arabia. Gulf officials are attempting to circumvent attacks in various ways, including direct diplomacy with Iran. A meeting originally scheduled for Monday between Iran and Gulf states was unexpectedly postponed on Sunday night, with an anonymous senior Gulf official stating that the reason was a deadlock between Saudi Arabia and Iran over issues in the Strait of Hormuz. A scholar from Kuwait University pointed out that the region needs to break free from the 'external protector syndrome.'

On September 15, Meme Coin 'Yi' launched the 'Yi'/DJPT liquidity trading pair and completed the initial liquidity addition.

On September 15, The New York Times reported that during the ongoing six-month conflict between the U.S.-Israel alliance and Iran, Iran has repeatedly used missiles and drones to attack Gulf states, with U.S. military bases in the region also coming under fire, highlighting the limitations of the U.S. security assurance system. As a result, Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait are exploring new security solutions, including strengthening regional defense cooperation and engaging in direct diplomatic contact with Iran. The report indicates that Gulf states do not have a clear alternative to U.S. security guarantees, and neither China nor Russia has directly intervened to protect these nations. Analysts believe that a more realistic option is to establish more defense partnerships to supplement rather than replace U.S. security protection. Meanwhile, Gulf states are attempting to ease tensions with Iran through diplomacy. Talks between Gulf states and Iran scheduled for Monday were postponed due to disagreements over shipping arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz, but related diplomatic efforts are expected to continue. Given Iran's geographical proximity to Gulf states, it is difficult for both sides to avoid direct contact in the long term.
