UAE calls for swift end to Iran-Israel war, warns of regional fallout

A senior United Arab Emirates official urged a rapid end to the Iran-Israel war, warning that a prolonged conflict would bring a “very difficult aftermath” for the region.

Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, said the war is undermining efforts by regional states to build a stable and prosperous regional order.

“The longer a war takes, the more dangerous it becomes,” Gargash told reporters, adding that the conflict is “setting back” the entire Gulf region.

He called for de-escalation and said there is still a path back to negotiations.
