U.S. Experts Say Iran Deal Not Reason to Halt Gulf Missile Shield Work

U.S. experts, including military and diplomatic officials, asserted that the Iran nuclear deal should not be used as a justification to stop work on the Gulf missile shield. The shield, designed to protect U.S. and allied forces in the region, was a key component of broader defense strategy. The comments were made in the context of ongoing discussions about regional security and the implications of the nuclear agreement.
