In separate calls with Trump, leaders of the three US allies said military action won’t achieve America’s long-standing goals with Iran, the people said, asking not to be named discussing sensitive matters.\nThe White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.\nAbu Dhabi’s stance indicates a shift for a country that bore the brunt of Iran’s attacks and has been more hawkish than its neighbours towards Tehran.\nThe UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar differ on the kind of diplomatic deal the US should pursue and how tough it should be with Iran, the people said. But their outreach to Trump underscores their shared wariness of a repeat of the situation between late February, when Israel and the US launched a war on the Islamic Republic, and a ceasefire in early April.\nIran and Tehran-backed militant groups in Iraq retaliated by firing thousands of drones and missiles across the Gulf, killing scores of people and causing billions of dollars-worth of damage to ports and energy infrastructure.\n“The Gulf Arab states saw their worst fears come true,” said Dina Esfandiary, an analyst at Bloomberg Economics. “They were caught in the middle of a US-Iran war and suffered much of the fallout. They now face the prospect of renewed confrontation if the ceasefire can’t be translated into a permanent deal, with their image as stable regional havens at risk.”\nThe UAE was frustrated when Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states refused to respond collectively with force against Iran to deter its attacks, Bloomberg News has reported. Abu Dhabi carried out limited strikes on Iran in coordination with the US and Israel, while Saudi Arabia took similar action separately, people familiar with the matter said.\nIran and the US agreed to a truce on April 8 and are exchanging messages via Pakistan about a peace deal. They have each said they are ready to resume hostilities and are showing little sign of making concessions.\nEven so, Trump’s secretary of state, Marco Rubio, on Friday said there was “slight progress” in the negotiations. Iranian media made similar comments.\nThe UAE’s anger with fellow Arab states culminated in its shock decision in late April to leave Opec, an oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia. Yet since then ties with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states have improved. The GCC is a six-member body comprising the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.\n“The UAE continues its close coordination and consultation with member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, alongside regional and international partners,” the foreign ministry said in a statement to Bloomberg on Thursday.\nPlenty of firepower\nThe same day, all GCC members bar Oman sent a letter to a global shipping watchdog rejecting Iran’s attempts to permanently control maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran effectively closed the waterway at the start of the war, choking off many of the GCC countries’ oil and natural gas exports.\nIran and its allies still have plenty of firepower, even though Tehran’s military has been battered and several key leaders have been assassinated during the war. The threat to Gulf countries was underscored as recently as Sunday by a drone attack on a UAE nuclear-power plant, which Abu Dhabi blamed on Iran-supported militias in Iraq.\nA day later, Trump said he’d spoken to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad and that they had dissuaded him from striking Iran.\nSome Gulf leaders aren’t sure their calls will be heeded and are concerned Israel will convince Trump to attack Iran again, one of the people said.\nThe Jewish state, which has forged deeper defence and security ties with the UAE since the start of the war, sees the Islamic Republic as an existential threat. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signalled more strikes are necessary to further degrade Iran’s military.\nThere’s “a 50-50 chance that we will reach an agreement” with Iran, Anwar Gargash, a senior adviser to the UAE’s president, said on Friday. “My worry is that the Iranians have always over-negotiated. I hope they don’t do that this time because the region does need a political solution. Round two of a military confrontation will only complicate things.”\nIn a bind\nTrump is in a bind. While he set out to destroy Iran’s ballistic missile programme and even alluded to regime change, the war has cost the US tens of billions of dollars. With energy prices soaring because of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the conflict is increasingly unpopular with Americans.\nThe US leader has vacillated between threatening massive airstrikes on Iran and saying the countries are closing in on a peace accord.\nSaudi Arabia supports mediation via Pakistan and believes getting Iran to curb its nuclear and ballistic-missile programmes can only be resolved through talks, some of the people said.\nThe kingdom, as well as the UAE, think the US should focus for now on getting Iran to reopen the Hormuz strait and maintain its naval blockade of Iranian ports to pressure Tehran into that, the people said.\nQatar continues to back the Pakistan-led mediation efforts, a diplomat from the country said. Doha has consistently advocated for de-escalation for the sake of the region and its people, the diplomat said.\nIn its statement to Bloomberg, the UAE’s foreign ministry reiterated that any deal must address Iran’s “full range of threats”. That includes the country’s nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles, drones and “affiliated proxies and terrorist groups,” it said.\nA Saudi foreign ministry official referred Bloomberg to a statement from Foreign Minister Faisal Bin Farhan on Wednesday. Prince Faisal said the kingdom “highly appreciates” Trump’s decision “to give diplomacy a chance to reach an acceptable agreement to end the war”.\nUploaded by Felyx Teoh","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
