These Gulf leaders stressed that a military escalation could have dangerous consequences for the region and emphasized the importance of continuing diplomatic efforts to resolve Iran’s nuclear issue.
As reported by Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the leaders advocated for renewed negotiations and a peaceful resolution through a new nuclear deal with Iran. Sources revealed that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed all expressed their clear support for a diplomatic solution and voiced concern about the risks of conflict.
Axios also reported that Trump, in a recent phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warned against launching an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. He stated that he believes the Iranian nuclear crisis can be resolved through a strong agreement, possibly within the next two weeks.
