United
Arab Emirates Energy Minister Suhail Al Mazrouei has warned that if the United
States launches another military attack on Iran, the UAE will be better
prepared than ever to deal with any possible scenario. Speaking at an
international conference in Abu Dhabi, he said the country had strengthened its
preparations by learning from past mistakes. Tensions in the region have
increased following signals from U.S. President Donald Trump about possible
renewed military action against Iran and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu’s desire for a joint attack. Iran, which has previously targeted U.S.
military bases and interests in the UAE, has also issued warnings of possible
retaliation in the event of further attacks.
Meanwhile,
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has expressed serious concern over plans and threats
of a new military operation against Iran, saying that those considering an
attack should reconsider their decision. According to the spokesperson for the
Russian Foreign Ministry, no military action can weaken the determination of
the Iranian people, who remain fully committed to defending their sovereignty,
territorial integrity and independence. The Russian Foreign Ministry further
warned that continued threats and military preparations aimed at pushing Iran
into another war represent an extremely dangerous and alarming trend for
regional and international peace.
