United Arab Emirates has claimed this Monday "realistic" solutions to the crisis in the Persian Gulf, emphasizing that the situation of "neither war nor peace is not sustainable" and warning that the memorandum of understanding reached between Washington and Tehran "failed to outline a practical and acceptable roadmap" to resolve the conflict.
After the latest exchange of military attacks between the U.S. Army and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Strait of Hormuz, Emirati presidential advisor Anwar Gargash has insisted on the need to reduce tension and end the instability shaking the area.
"The situation of neither war nor peace cannot be a sustainable solution, just as the policy of attacking the Arab Gulf countries --referring to the Persian Gulf-- and Jordan has proven its failure," pointed out the former Emirati Foreign Minister, who held the position between 2008 and 2021.
In this line, Gargash has argued that "what is needed today are realistic and sustainable political solutions that address the political and economic dimensions of the crisis, starting with overcoming the escalation and returning navigation in the Strait of Hormuz to its normality."
The advisor has also emphasized that a "more realistic" approach is needed that leaves behind the memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran last June and that, as he stressed, "failed to outline a practical and acceptable roadmap" for a way out of the crisis.
In parallel, the Revolutionary Guard has claimed in recent hours attacks against Jordan and the United Arab Emirates in retaliation for the recent U.S. bombings against the island of Larak. For its part, Abu Dhabi has confirmed that its forces "responded to a drone detected over the territorial waters of the country as it approached from Iran," while denying that there was a missile impact at the Al Minhad base.
