Anwar Gargash, an adviser to the United Arab Emirates’ president, says countries in the Gulf “are all paying the price for Iran’s inflated regional ambitions”.

“No state in the region can play a role at the expense of shared security, stability, and prosperity,” Gargash said in a post on X.

“Review is required and inevitable on clear foundations: respect for sovereignty, good neighbourliness, and non-interference in others’ affairs.”
