However, long-standing contradictions are hindering this process. In recent weeks, senior officials from the UAE and Saudi Arabia have publicly posed for photos together, demonstrating a thaw in relations; Jordan and six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have also held talks at the US State Department and Capitol Hill; and the GCC has issued several joint statements condemning Irans attacks. However, several Arab diplomats, current and former US officials, and people familiar with the regional situation say that while these countries all want to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open, their differing priorities in how to achieve this goal are hindering substantial progress. These differences include a series of conflicting interests, such as which countries possess alternative shipping lanes, which countries have the deepest infrastructure ties with Iran, and which countrys economy will suffer the greatest losses in the current crisis. An Iraqi official stated, "They are working together to visit the U.S. Congress and the State Department to coordinate their messaging. But they are not on the same page." The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), comprised of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, already had numerous internal divisions before the current conflict, and the war with Iran is further amplifying these contradictions. "They have many issues to resolve, and this war has exacerbated the existing divisions in the Gulf region," said David Schenker, former U.S. State Department director for Middle East affairs.July 26 - Queensland, Australia, confirmed a case of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza on July 25.
