UAE's diplomatic advisor, Anwar Gargash, expressed hope for a diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East conflict during the annual Manama Dialogue forum in Bahrain. He emphasized that the UAE is prepared for the worst-case scenario but prefers a peaceful resolution. Gargash's statement comes amid rising tensions in the region, with Iran warning of a potential prolonged conflict with the US.
Iran's military spokesperson, Mohammad Akrami Nia, warned that any new war with the US could be longer than the previous one. He stated that US President Donald Trump would not have control over the timing or conditions of the war's end. This warning comes as Iran and the US are experiencing increased tensions, with Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, emphasizing that Iran will determine the timing and conditions of any future conflict.
Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, met with top military commanders to discuss the country's preparedness for potential conflicts. He instructed them to update the "target bank" to include various Iranian and non-Iranian assets that could be used in response to any Israeli or US aggression. Khamenei emphasized the importance of public support for the military in deterring foreign aggression.
The UAE and Iran have been involved in a series of diplomatic exchanges aimed at reducing tensions in the region. Gargash's statement reflects the UAE's desire for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
