Thousands have died and tens of thousands have been exposed to the virus. An overlooked developing crisis parallel to Iran’s is the situation of the country’s neighbors across the Persian Gulf.
Beyond the civilian element affecting Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE; tens of thousands of American military personnel are also stationed in these countries. Once facing the Iranian threat and ISIS, they are now involved in combating the invisible enemy: Covid-19. Gregg Roman is director of the Middle East Forum. He previously served as the political adviser to the deputy foreign minister of Israel and worked in the Israeli Ministry of Defense. Mr. Roman has also served as Director of the Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. In 2014, JTA named him as one of the 10 most inspiring Jewish leaders worldwide. __________________________ The Middle East Forum, an activist think tank, deals with the Middle East, Islamism, U.S. foreign policy, and related topics, urging bold measures to protect Americans and their allies.
