Middle Eastern stability took center stage at Dubai's World Governments Summit this week as UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash warned against renewed Iran-U.S. tensions. 🔥 "The region has gone through calamitous confrontations. We don't need another," he declared during a panel discussion.
With U.S. warships reportedly en route to the Persian Gulf and nuclear talks set to resume Friday in Istanbul, Gargash emphasized: "Direct Iranian-American negotiations could create understandings to prevent daily crises." 💣→🤝
The high-stakes meeting between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi comes amid warnings from former U.S. President Donald Trump about "bad things" happening without progress. Regional players including Saudi Arabia and Egypt will also participate, signaling a rare multilateral push for diplomacy.
As global energy markets watch nervously, the UAE's appeal highlights growing regional fatigue with geopolitical brinkmanship. Can 2026 become the year of de-escalation? The world waits for Friday's outcome. ⏳✨
