Explanation
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a regional intergovernmental political and economic union established in 1981. Its member states consist of all Arab states of the Persian Gulf except Iraq.
- Members: The six member nations are Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
- Non-Members: Iran and Iraq are not members of the GCC. While Iraq shares a border with the Persian Gulf and has expressed interest in joining the bloc in the past, it remains outside the organization. Iran is a major regional power on the Gulf but is not an Arab state and is not part of this specific grouping.
Since Bahrain (1) and Qatar (4) are members, and Iran (2) and Iraq (3) are not, the correct code representing non-members is 2 and 3.
