UAE to reassess global ties after Iran aggression, Gargash says

Abu Dhabi: Dr Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE President, said it was still too early to draw definitive lessons from the “brutal Iranian aggression,” while stressing that the country would continue to strengthen its national model and defensive capabilities.

In a statement, Gargash said the UAE would press ahead in reinforcing the state framework that has underpinned its success, alongside efforts to safeguard the nation and protect its stability.

He added that, with the confidence of a country that has overcome a “treacherous attack”, the UAE would reassess its regional and international relationships with clarity and precision, identifying trusted partners, while pursuing economic and financial recalibration to reinforce the resilience of its model.

Gargash said a rational reassessment of national priorities would guide the country’s path forward.
