Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the president of the United Arab Emirates, warned on Monday, November 9 that it is difficult to reach a comprehensive political agreement between the US and Iran to end the eight-month war, and that the region should prepare itself for long periods of uncertainty.
Gargash said at the Abu Dhabi Strategic Forum meeting that the effects and consequences of the war may remain "for a long time" and that the UAE should strengthen its "defense force, deterrence force and international security cooperation". He emphasized that "the United Arab Emirates was against the American war against Iran from the beginning."
