Following the provocative joint attacks by the United States and the Zionist regime on Iran in late February, the region has witnessed heightened tensions. While the United Arab Emirates, like many of its neighbors, initially voiced opposition to the escalating conflict, its stance appears to be shifting, seemingly influenced by the desire to avert a wider regional war.
In a recent statement, a UAE official, Al Hashimy, expressed skepticism regarding claims of significant leadership changes in Iran, despite acknowledging shifts in personalities. She questioned whether such changes truly altered the character of the Revolutionary Guard, noting a lack of hopeful signs.
Meanwhile, the US administration continues its contradictory approach. President Donald Trump announced the resumption of peace talks with Iranian officials in Pakistan, following an initial round that yielded no meaningful progress. This comes after Trump’s alarming threats to decimate Iranian civilian infrastructure and eliminate ‘a whole civilization’ if Iran did not comply with demands regarding the Strait of Hormuz – threats that drew sharp condemnation from Democrats and human rights experts. US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz further exacerbated tensions by insisting that ‘all options are on the table.’
When questioned about these grave threats, Al Hashimy stated the UAE’s belief that ‘maximum pressure’ is necessary for progress, yet she cautioned against attacks on civilians. She emphasized that the goal is not to harm the Iranian people, but rather to address the Revolutionary Guard’s military posture, which she claimed targets not only the US and the Zionist regime but also the Gulf states themselves. This perspective, however, emerges amidst a backdrop of relentless pressure and threats against the Iranian nation, raising questions about the true path to regional stability.
