Dr Anwar Gargash, Diplomatic Advisor to The President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan stated: "The Gulf states took a strong and impactful stance against the Israeli war on Iran, worked across all international platforms to de-escalate tensions, and called for resolving outstanding issues, chief among them the nuclear file, through political means. Despite this, Iran targeted the sovereignty of our sisterly nation, Qatar, an act that affects us all.”

Gargash added: "As we turn the page on this war, Tehran remains obligated to restore trust with its Gulf neighbours, which has been damaged by this aggression."
