Emirati diplomatic adviser Anwar Gargash has warned that Gulf countries must prepare for a long period of uncertainty, as no final agreement between the United States and Iran has been secured. His remarks, made at a security forum in Abu Dhabi, follow statements by Donald Trump about possible new strikes, according to Caasimada.
Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to Emirati President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, warned on Monday in Abu Dhabi that Gulf countries must prepare for a long period of insecurity, as an agreement between the United States and Iran remains uncertain. He was speaking at a regional security forum, according to Caasimada Online.
The same day, US President Donald Trump told CNN that the likelihood of new strikes against Iran was very low if negotiations progressed, while making his decision conditional on Tehran signing a strict agreement. He said his forces could destroy 38 targets within one hour in the event of new attacks.
Republicans lost their majority in both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections on 3 November. Trump acknowledged that the war against Iran had weighed on this defeat, while his vice-president JD Vance described it as the cause of the defeat. The United States and Israel attacked Iran on 28 February, two days after a round of talks in Geneva.
