President Trump is scheduled to meet with several Gulf leaders on the sidelines of the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York, according to three sources familiar with the planning. The primary objective of these talks is to coordinate on a post-war strategy concerning Iran. The administration is currently developing a "day-after" plan, which officials intend to finalize following the midterm elections.

While the focus remains on regional cooperation with Gulf states, there is ongoing speculation regarding other diplomatic interactions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed interest in meeting with the President during the same event. However, sources indicate that no such meeting has been officially scheduled at this time. The administration has not yet released an official itinerary for the UN General Assembly, and the details regarding which specific Gulf leaders will be in attendance remain unconfirmed by the White House.
