Anwar Gargash

UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash:

The Iranian attacks on Qatari and Saudi commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and the repeated aggression against Bahrain and Kuwait, are a clear sign Tehran is still unable to commit to de-escalation.

The Arab Gulf states cannot remain a target for Iran's hesitation between escalation and the path of rationality and peace.

UAE presidential advisor Anwar Gargash: "Imposing a reality born from aggression does not create stability - it sows new seeds of discord and conflict."

UAE presidential advisor Anwar Gargash:

"The UAE did not seek war and worked sincerely to avoid it."

Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the UAE President:

"The brutal Iranian attack continues with pirate operations at sea, with an attack on an ADNOC national tanker during its passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE's position is firm in rejecting aggression and protecting freedom of navigation in the vital international maritime passage. These attacks emphasize that the Iranian threat to the security and stability of the region continues and cannot be ignored."

Emirati Advisor Anwar Gargash:

“Iran acts as if it is a superpower, even when it does not possess nuclear weapons. Imagine if it possessed those weapons!”

UAE President MbZ’s Advisor Anwar Gargash on Iran:

You can’t be attacked with 2,800 missiles and drones then talk to me about trust. That will take ages and ages.

UAE President's Advisor Anwar Gargash:

It has now become very clear to the region, to the United Arab Emirates and other countries, that Iran is the long-term threat.

UAEs Anwar Gargash:

״It is not possible to return to the previous pace in relations with Iran without a review, candor, and guarantees.״

UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash says the UAE will reassess its regional and global ties and focus on identifying dependable partners.

UAE official Anwar Gargash said any U.S.-Iran deal must ensure open passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

He warned that failing to curb Iran’s nuclear program and its missile and drone capabilities would risk creating a “more dangerous, more volatile Middle East.”

Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE President:

"The official Iranian media discourse is propagandistic and naive, far from logic and reality, using slogans from a bygone era. It bears no relation to what is happening on the ground, amid media blackout, internet shutdown, and eroded credibility. As we have repeatedly emphasized, the media narrative in wars is crucial, and its credibility underpins its influence."

Anwar Mohammed Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president and former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, says any political deal must include Iranian reparations for strikes on Gulf infrastructure and civilians.

UAE presidential advisor Anwar Gargash says Iran’s attacks on Gulf states are reinforcing its role as a central threat in regional strategy, adding that they will drive stronger security ties with Washington, calling it the “cost of Iran’s miscalculations.”

Anwar Gargash, Senior Advisor to the President of the United Arab Emirates:

“The war must not end with yet another ceasefire - the event must conclude with the containment of the nuclear threat, the drones, the missiles, and Iranian bullying in the Strait of Hormuz”

Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed:

“We have repeatedly warned about the danger of rumors during wartime. Claims about imposing restrictions on capital movement in the UAE are false and clearly refuted. The UAE’s economic history is built on openness and free movement of funds, a cornerstone of its success and investment appeal. The UAE will emerge stronger and more successful, and Iranian aggression will not succeed in its efforts.”
