Dr Anwar Gargash, the UAE's diplomatic adviser to the President, stated that Iran's attacks on Gulf Arab states only exacerbated the country's situation following the US announcement of extensive new sanctions against Tehran. Gargash emphasized the need to transition towards a political resolution following Iran's failed attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz and its attacks on Gulf states.

Gargash advocated for collaboration with Gulf Arab states to achieve de-escalation and a political resolution to the crisis.

The UAE severed its trade and financial relations with Tehran last week in response to Iranian missile strikes and drone attacks on its territory. Since the US-Israel war on Iran commenced on February 28, the UAE has faced multiple Iranian missile and drone assaults, resulting in at least a dozen fatalities and over 200 injuries in the country during the ongoing conflict.
