UAE President’s Advisor in Abu Dhabi, Dr. Anwar Gargash has expressed strong displeasure over Iran’s actions. He termed the article of former Foreign Minister of Iran as completely wrong and said that attacking neighbors is not bravery. The way Iran is using missiles and drones shows its weakness and strategic failure.

What did UAE say about Iran’s attacks?
Dr. Anwar Gargash said that the biggest flaw in Iran’s strategy is that it adopts an aggressive stance against its neighboring Arab countries. Targeting civilians with thousands of missiles and drones is not a victory. He criticized the article of former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and said that the reality has been hidden in it. Gone are the times when such attacks were presented as victories. The UAE accused Iran of using the Gulf region as a platform to attack its neighbors.

What is UAE’s demand for the future?
UAE officials have made it clear that it is very important to have certain conditions in any political talks with Iran. This should include clear guarantees against future attacks and the principle of non-aggression. Apart from this, there has also been talk of Iran paying compensation for targeting civilian facilities. Dr. Gargash said Iran deceived its neighbors about its intentions before the war. There is also a threat of attacks on Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain, in view of which security agencies are on alert.
