The Gulf states' hesitation to fund this reconstruction is a direct consequence of the political settlement that enables such a fund to be proposed, reflecting their desire to prevent Iran from stabilizing and regaining power after the conflict."
"Similar to Event 6, the agreement on ceasefire extension and Strait of Hormuz reopening (Event 12) marks a de-escalation that necessitates reconstruction efforts. The new event highlights the economic friction that arises as a result of this diplomatic shift, where Gulf states are reluctant to support the rival's recovery despite the formalized peace process."
