The new US administration is right to prioritize diplomacy with Iran, and the UAE sees no other choice in this matter, diplomatic adviser to the President of the UAE Anwar Gargash noted.

He noted the need for regional players to participate at the negotiating table, National Daily reported. 

He made it clear that besides diplomacy, the UAE does not see any other way in the Iranian issue. A senior Emirati official highlighted his country's commitment to de-escalating relations with Iran and said the UAE had sent a similar message to Tehran through the European Union in the past.

Even with maximum pressure under former US President Donald Trump, we sent messages to Iran through the Europeans about the need for diplomacy and de-escalation, he said.
