Iran’s president says Tehran and UAE want to ‘turn the page’ on war
After US-Israeli attacks on Iran in February triggered a Middle East war, Tehran retaliated against US allies in the region, with the UAE bearing much of the brunt.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has expressed that Tehran and the UAE aim to "turn the page" on their strained relations, following a meeting with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince in India. This comes amid the ongoing Middle East war, which began in February when US-Israeli attacks on Iran triggered Tehran's retaliatory actions against America's allies in the region.
The UAE was significantly impacted, with trade and financial exchanges being suspended by the UAE in August. Despite this, Dubai remains a crucial economic hub for Iran, home to a significant Iranian community and vital for Iran's struggling economy, which is heavily burdened by US and international sanctions. Local merchants in Dubai, who have long ties with Iran, remain optimistic about maintaining ties with their southern Iranian counterparts despite the recent tensions.
