Iran, UAE agree to ‘turn the page’ on war

Iran and the United Arab Emirates, both nations whose ties have soured since the eruption of the Middle East conflict, are signaling a desire to move past past animosities, according to President Massoud Pezeshkian. The prospect of a reconciliation was discussed during a recent meeting between the Iranian leader and Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, which took place on the sidelines of the Brics summit in India.
Pezeshkian stated that they agreed to "turn the page," indicating a willingness to look forward and collaborate on the future. The push for normalization comes in the wake of US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February, which sparked the current war. In retaliation, Iran has since targeted American allies in the region, with the UAE suffering the brunt of the fallout.
In August, the UAE announced plans to suspend economic and financial ties with Iran. Situated in Dubai, the UAE's largest city, Iran's sizable Iranian diaspora plays a crucial role in the country's struggling economy, which is heavily burdened by US and international sanctions.
