The six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) agreed on Tuesday to set up a military command post in Kuwait and station forces there, Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi said. Albudaiwi announced the decision after defence ministers from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates met in Manama. The council did not set an opening date or say how many troops it would send or what their duties would be. Kuwait lies at the northern end of the Gulf, bordering Iraq and Saudi Arabia and facing Iran across the water. The new post will be part of the GCC’s Unified Military Command, which the six countries set up in 2013 to plan joint operations. Its main headquarters opened in Riyadh in 2021.
