Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the President of the United Arab Emirates, said on Monday, November 9, at the "Abu Dhabi Strategic Dialogue" meeting: "The Middle East may face a long period of instability and uncertainty, because it seems difficult to reach a comprehensive political agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war that has lasted more than eight months." Gergash added: "The United Arab Emirates was against the American war against Iran from the beginning."
