Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, warned that a resumption of hostilities in the Iran war would be 'catastrophic' for the Middle East. Speaking at the Globsec security conference in Prague, Gargash stressed that only a political resolution can end the ongoing conflict, which has disrupted global oil supplies and the economy. The UAE has been a vocal opponent of Iran, reportedly conducting secret attacks during the US-Israeli military campaign that began on February 28. Gargash expressed concerns over Iran's military actions, including missile strikes on Gulf neighbors, and highlighted the need for a broader security framework to rebuild trust in the region. He stated that Iranian negotiators have historically overplayed their hands and must be flexible for successful negotiations. Gargash also noted that the conflict has shifted Gulf security dynamics, bringing Israel and the UAE closer in defense collaboration. As tensions rise, the UAE has implemented visa restrictions on Iranian nationals, emphasizing security amid the war. Gargash reiterated that the UAE seeks a political solution, as military actions would only exacerbate existing tensions.
