UAE official says targeting Gulf states and Jordan has failed

UAE official Anwar Gargash has stated that efforts to target Gulf states and Jordan have been unsuccessful. The diplomatic adviser to the UAE president urged for practical and enduring political resolutions to the ongoing crisis. In a recent X post, Gargash emphasized that a state of neither war nor peace is not a viable solution, advocating for de-escalation and the re-establishment of normal maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

He further stated that addressing both the political and economic facets of the crisis, beginning with pragmatic steps to restore stability, is crucial. Gargash also highlighted the necessity of adopting a more pragmatic stance, moving past the memorandum of understanding that has thus far failed to offer a viable and agreeable plan of action.
