The United Arab Emirates has called for strict security guarantees and compensation from Iran as part of any political settlement to the ongoing conflict between the two countries. Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, stated on social media that any agreement must include a firm commitment to a 'non-aggression' policy to prevent future attacks. He emphasized that Tehran should compensate for assaults on Gulf countries’ civilian infrastructure and populations.

Gargash accused Iran of misleading neighboring states about its intentions before the conflict and claimed that Iran carried out a 'premeditated aggression' despite regional efforts to avoid escalation. He said mandatory security assurances and reparations are now essential to address what he described as the main threat to Gulf security.

The remarks, reported by Middle East Eye, come amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing discussions about possible political solutions to the Iran-UAE conflict.
