Middle East tensions: Dr. Ali Al-Nuaimi highlights the UAE's firm stance towards Iran

In a regional context marked by high tensions, Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Defense, Interior, and Foreign Affairs Committee of the UAE Federal National Council, offered a frank analysis of the situation. In an interview with Sky News Arabia, he reiterated that the UAE remains committed to a clear policy: promoting peace, development, and regional cooperation.

Far from succumbing to concern, the Emirati official struck a resolutely optimistic tone. He emphasized his country's ability to overcome crises, highlighting national resilience and internal cohesion. According to him, the Emirates have already demonstrated their capacity to respond effectively to challenges, particularly in the face of what he termed "Iranian aggression," and are ready to surprise again with political, economic, and social progress.

In this address, Ali Al-Nuaimi emphasizes a central element: strategic independence. He asserts that recent events have reinforced the UAE's conviction that it can rely primarily on its own strength in critical moments. This stance is part of a broader vision of sovereignty and stability, in which the nation positions itself as a major player in regional security.

Furthermore, he did not hesitate to directly criticize the Iranian regime, which he accuses of duplicity and manipulation, including of its own population. For him, the current situation marks a turning point in Tehran, with a change in leadership and a period of strategic uncertainty. He believes that the ongoing ceasefire could represent a decisive phase for the country's future.

Finally, Ali Al-Nuaimi emphasized the convergence of views between the Emirates and the United States, particularly praising the president's determination. Donald TrumpHe also reiterated that Abu Dhabi's priority remains the protection of its economic interests and global stability, particularly in the face of threats to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for international trade. This firm stance is nonetheless accompanied by a discourse of openness and responsibility.
