UAE signals diplomatic path, urges Iran to stop targeting neighbors

US President ⁠Donald Trump will ​bring about a diplomatic conclusion to the war with Iran "in his time", and Tehran must halt attacks on ​its neighbours before they can mediate, one of the UAE's top diplomats said, France 24 reports.

Lana Nusseibeh, a former UAE ambassador to the United Nations who now holds the rank of minister of state in ​the Gulf country's foreign ‌ministry, expressed confidence that the war would end in a negotiated settlement. But ⁠she said neighbours were shocked that Iran had unleashed attacks on them.

"Ultimately, it will be a diplomatic solution, but there needs to be that ‌tipping point moment, and I think that president Trump will lead us all to that ⁠moment in his time," Nusseibeh emphasized.
