UAE Urges Diplomatic Talks to End Conflict with Iran

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is actively promoting diplomatic efforts to end the conflict with Iran, according to several informed sources. These sources indicate that the UAE, along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, is urging U.S. President Donald Trump to consider negotiations. According to Odaily, the discussions stem from concerns that renewed hostilities could lead to retaliatory actions from Tehran, potentially destabilizing the Gulf region's economy. In separate conversations with Trump, leaders from these three allied nations expressed the view that military action would not achieve the United States' long-term objectives regarding Iran. Abu Dhabi's stance reflects a shift in attitude, as the UAE was previously a major target of Iranian attacks and had maintained a more aggressive posture towards Iran compared to its neighbors. However, the sources noted that the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar differ on the diplomatic approach the U.S. should take and the level of firmness required in dealing with Iran.
