“The United Arab Emirates is preparing for the worst-case scenario, given the possibility that the United States and Israel will resume military operations against Iran.”
Globalinfo.az reports that this was stated by Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE President.
Gargash stressed that a new military confrontation in the region serves no one’s interests.
He noted that they hope progress will be achieved in diplomatic talks.
Nevertheless, the adviser did not hide that his country is ready for a possible escalation.
“We hope that progress will be achieved on the diplomatic track. It is not in our interests for the region to go through another stage of confrontation. But we are ready for the worst-case scenario, as we have demonstrated before,” Gargash said.
Note that the statement was made at a time when the possibility of a renewed rise in military tension in the Middle East is being discussed.
