The Gulf’s Conflicts and Their Cost to Pakistan by Muhammad Mohsin Iqbal: Throughout the long and often turbulent history of the Gulf, the states of that vital region have repeatedly been plunged into the furnace of war, with consequences that have reverberated far beyond their shores and touched the lives of distant peoples dependent upon the free passage of oil.
