UAE presidential adviser: Iran’s government can’t be trusted

An adviser to Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, says they have lost trust in the Iranian government after its attacks on Arab neighbors.

“We are facing a perfidious regime that cannot be trusted,” Anwar Gargash wrote in a social media post on April 7, adding that his country had sought to avoid the war, AP reports. 

He also claimed the UAE’s position toward Iran’s attacks in the Gulf Arab countries is appreciated across the region.
