UAE Joins Saudis, Qatar in Urging Trump Not to Restart War [View all]
The United Arab Emirates has made a more concerted push for an end to the Iran war in recent days, joining Saudi Arabia and Qatar in urging US President Donald Trump to give negotiations a chance, according to several people familiar with the matter.
The conversations were prompted by the countries fears that any retaliation from Tehran, if hostilities resume, will plunge Gulf economies into chaos, the people said. In separate calls with Trump, leaders of the three US allies said military action wont achieve Americas long-standing goals with Iran, the people said, asking not to be named discussing sensitive matters.
The White House didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.
Abu Dhabis stance indicates a shift for a country that bore the brunt of Irans attacks and has been more hawkish than its neighbors toward Tehran.
