Summarizes likely challenges to U.S. interests in the Persian Gulf in the coming decade and highlights the implications of trends in the region for the United States. Likely challenges to U.S. interests in the Persian Gulf, key uncertainties and trends, and the implications of those trends for the United States are examined in this study. The authors conclude that while many trends in the region are positive, daunting problems remain. The United States should focus less on the conventional military threat and more on the risk of WMD and possible instability or domestic unrest among several Gulf partners, and attempt to minimize deleterious effects of the U.S. military presence in the region.
