Political solution must include safeguards against future Iranian attacks, says Gargash

Dr Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to ⁠the UAE's President, said on Sunday that any political solution addressing ⁠Iranian attacks on Gulf states should include Iranian reparations for targeting vital facilities as well as civilians.

Gargash said, “Any political solution addressing Iranian aggression against the Gulf states must include clear guarantees to prevent future attacks, reinforce the principle of non-aggression, and ensure Iranian compensation for targeting civilian and vital infrastructure.

“Iran deceived its neighbours before the war about its intentions, revealing a premeditated aggression despite their sincere efforts to avoid it. These two measures—guarantees and reparations—are therefore essential in confronting a regime that has become the primary threat to Gulf security.”
