Iran and the UAE meet in New Delhi
Iran and the UAE held their highest-level meeting since the start of the Iran war at the BRICS summit, where the two countries found a rare space for direct diplomacy.
Iran and the UAE met at the BRICS summit in New Delhi, marking their highest-level diplomatic engagement since the Iran war began. The meeting occurred amid heightened tensions, including Abu Dhabi's suspension of trade with Tehran in August following Iranian attacks. The two nations, in conjunction with a joint BRICS statement advocating for "maximum restraint," aim to engage Gulf states directly, bypassing stalled US-Iran negotiations.
Iran intends to present a temporary shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf nations on Monday.
