The Arab states of the Persian Gulf, often called the Gulf Arab states, are Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, grouped by their shared coastline on the Persian Gulf, which they formally refer to as the Arabian Gulf. With the exception of Iraq, these states are Islamic monarchies, and most belong to the Gulf Cooperation Council, which coordinates political and economic policy and maintains a joint Unified Military Command. Most of the Gulf Arab states were British protectorates until the second half of the twentieth century.
