UAE presidential adviser calls Iran main threat to Gulf security

Presidential adviser of the United Arab Emirates, Anwar Gargash, has stated that Iran poses a threat to the security and stability of the Persian Gulf.

According to Caliber.Az, Gargash made the remarks in a post on the social media platform X, where he also expressed appreciation for international support following recent developments.

ُنُقدر ونُثمن رسائل التضامن الخليجية والعربية والدولية مع الإمارات، والتي تستنكر وتدين الهجوم الإيراني الغاشم، وتعكس تمسك المجتمع الدولي بنظام قائم على القيم والمسؤولية، يرفض التصرفات المارقة ويعزل مرتكبيها.

وتؤكد هذه المواقف أن إيران هي الطرف المعتدي، والمسؤولة عن تفاقم الأزمة…

“We appreciate and highly value the messages of solidarity from the countries of the Persian Gulf, the Arab world and the international community with the Emirates, which condemn and reject the brutal Iranian attack and reflect the international community’s commitment to a system based on values and responsibility that rejects unlawful actions and isolates their perpetrators.

These positions confirm that Iran is the aggressor responsible for the escalation of the crisis in the Persian Gulf and a source of threat and danger to its security and stability,” Gargash wrote.
