UAE hopes for US-Iran breakthrough but braces for renewed war

khaleejtimes.com —

The UAE is hoping for a diplomatic breakthrough in US-Iran negotiations while preparing for a potential resumption of war, a senior official said Sunday, amid ongoing threats from Washington. Diplomatic adviser Anwar Gargash stated at a Manama conference that another regional conflict is not in the region's interest, though the UAE remains "braced for the worst." Iran has sent envoys to Qatar for indirect talks following a Qatari delegation's Tehran visit. US President Donald Trump reiterated threats to strike targets in Iran, while US officials said negotiation channels remain open. The war began February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which retaliated against Gulf nations allied with Washington.
