FT reported on the UAE's restoration of relations with Iran
The authorities of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have begun to restore diplomatic and economic relations with Iran, while strengthening military cooperation with Israel and the United States. This was reported on July 28 by the Financial Times (FT) newspaper.
"The UAE has made a bold maneuver, cautiously resuming diplomatic and economic channels with Iran, while doubling military ties with Israel and the United States," the article says.
According to the newspaper, Abu Dhabi decided to move from tension to detente in relations with Tehran after Washington and the Iranian side reached an agreement on mutual understanding in April. By now, the UAE has already restored some trade relations and aviation links with the Islamic Republic.
Emirati officials acknowledge that trying to move from a state of war to a "frozen" peace remains risky. The situation is complicated by the ongoing exchange of strikes between US and Iranian forces, which has been observed in recent weeks.
On July 18, the UAE expressed serious concern about the latest developments in the Middle East and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities to avoid further escalation of tension and instability in the region. In addition, the Emirates calls for an early return to the negotiating table and emphasizes the importance of free and safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
