UAE President’s diplomatic adviser Anwar Gargash confirmed today, Wednesday, in a post on the platform “X” that the recent Iranian attacks on Qatari and Saudi commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, along with the repeated aggression against Bahrain and Kuwait, are a clear indication of Tehran’s continued inability to comply with de-escalation requirements and turn the page on the war.

Gargash said in his post: “The Iranian attacks on Qatari and Saudi commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and the repeated aggression against the two brotherly countries of Bahrain and Kuwait, are a clear indication that Tehran remains unable to commit to the requirements of de-escalation and turn the page on the war.”

He added that “the Gulf Arab states cannot continue to be a target of Iran’s hesitation between the logic of escalation and the path of rationality, stability, and peace.”
