Regional power United Arab Emirates urged Iran and the United States on Tuesday to strike a nuclear deal and reach a long-term solution to tensions ahead of the resumption of talks between the foes and regional states, emphasizing that the Middle East does not need another war, according to Reuters.
Iran and the United States will resume nuclear talks on Friday in Turkey, Iranian and U.S. officials told Reuters on Monday. U.S. President Donald Trump warned that with big U.S. warships heading to Iran, "bad things" would probably happen if a deal could not be reached.
The UAE, a highly influential Gulf Arab power and close U.S. ally, said a long-term solution was needed.
"I think that the region has gone through various calamitous confrontations. I don't think we need another one, but I would like to see direct Iranian-American negotiations leading to understandings so that we don't have these issues every other day," the UAE president's adviser Anwar Gargash told a panel at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.
