UAE demands reparations from Iran in any Gulf peace deal

The United Arab Emirates has called for reparations from Iran to be included in any political agreement aimed at ending Tehran’s “aggression” against regional states.

Anwar Gargash, advisor to the UAE president, said that any agreement must include clear guarantees to prevent future violations, uphold the principle of non-aggression, and ensure Iran compensates for attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure, per Al Arabiya.

“Iran deceived its neighbors before the war about its intentions and revealed a premeditated aggression despite their [neighbor’s] sincere efforts to avoid it, making these two paths essential in confronting a regime that has become the primary threat to the security of the Arab Gulf,” Gargash said.

The UAE’s stance underscores its insistence on securing peace and stability in the Persian Gulf while holding Iran accountable for actions that undermine regional security.
