UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash has expressed the hope that the expected peace deal between the US and Iran will “turn the page on war and open a political path that proves successful”.

“We have never been advocates of war, and we will always remain advocates of peace and stability, while holding firmly to the defence of the homeland and the preservation of its sovereignty and interests,” he said on X.

He commended the UAE leadership’s “handling of this crisis and its repercussions”.
