Fears of a renewed war with Iran and threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz dominated the closing session of the 2026 Manama Dialogue, as Gulf states called for containing the escalation and strengthening joint defense while remaining committed to diplomacy. Bahrain said that Gulf Cooperation Council states and Jordan had come under nearly 7,000 attacks during the year, while nearly 1,600 ships were stranded in the strait and more than 23,000 seafarers were affected. Saudi Arabia called for the protection of maritime corridors to be treated as a shared international responsibility. France and Britain unveiled a multinational defense initiative to protect shipping and counter naval mines, with representatives from more than 15 countries taking part. Forum discussions concluded that Gulf security and the safety of maritime corridors are closely tied to the stability of the global economy.
