Dr.Anwar Bin Mohammed Gargash, Diplomatic Advisor to the UAE President, said, "As we confront Iranian aggression, it is important not to be preoccupied with the resentment some have towards the UAE's success, but rather to focus on collective action to protect the homeland and preserve its achievements.
"This gloating does not change the facts, but rather reflects narrow-mindedness and an inability to comprehend successful experiences."
Gargash continued, "We do not concern ourselves with psychological analyses of their motives, for we are the proponents of a civilisational project in a difficult and dangerous region, and we proceed with confidence to enhance our nation's stability and consolidate its gains."
