Greg Carlstrom

Greg Carlstrom appears in Gulf-co-operation counsel: what next for the region as the The Intelligence analyst explaining how the Iran war changed the risk calculation for the Gulf. His segment frames the modern Gulf Cooperation Council as more than an oil corridor: finance, logistics, aviation, sovereign wealth, and expatriate business life all require confidence that the region is secure.

The source uses Carlstrom to compare uneven readiness inside the Gulf. United Arab Emirates looks more resilient because of fiscal strength, expatriate confidence, and bypass planning around the Strait of Hormuz, while Bahrain looks more vulnerable because of debt, limited reserves, and outside-support dependence.
