Whatever your view of Iran, this war is not of their making. This is already causing widespread economic problems and I fear they promise to get much worse if the war continues. Oman is working intensively to put in place safe passage arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz.

I was always stunned by the lunacy of the Abraham Accords from an Emirati perspective.
The UAE's conflict with Iran is far more resolvable than Israel's conflict with Iran. By joining the Abraham Accords and explicitly becoming a member of Israel's anti-Iran bloc, the UAE essentially attached itself to Israel's conflict with Iran - even though Israel is 1000 miles from Iran, while the UAE is only 50 miles from Iran's shores.
The UAE made itself a frontline state in Israel's fight with Iran.
Abu Dhabi is now paying the price for this mistake. Geography is ensuring that the key decisions are made elsewhere - while it pays the highest price.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇶🇦
Qatari Minister Lolwah Al-Khater to Trump and Netanyahu:
“Stop speaking on our behalf. Stop using us as an excuse for your agendas. We don’t want you to ‘liberate’ us—we just want to be left alone. Stop fueling wars. It’s not our fault you failed in school and were educated by Hollywood—the world is not a movie.”

The US-Israeli assassination policy needs to be reassessed: it’s illegal and strips us from a window into the Iranian regime. We will eventually end up with a negotiated settlement, and that requires having able interlocutors on all sides. A pleasure joining @BeckyCNN.

@Dr_DaniaThafer and @DrRGeistPinfold's latest for @ForeignPolicy:
"The Gulf states are damned if they keep U.S. forces on their soil, but more damned if they remove them."

@Dr_DaniaThafer @GulfIntlForum @DrRGeistPinfold @ForeignPolicy This would be totally nonsense but UAE is the one that have an existential aim to do so much lesser KSA and Oman that are the main resilient states of the GCC.
English
My latest co-written with @DrRGeistPinfold for @ForeignPolicy:
Although the United States may be a major part of the problem, it remains a major part of the solution. Ironically, the same is true for Iran.
The Gulf states are indeed under unprecedented strain. But despite this, they are unlikely to fundamentally shift their grand strategies in response to the war. Instead, they will continue to deepen their security partnership with the United States while maintaining some form of engagement with Iran.

@MerruX Absolutely. UAE is the one in pushing fiercely in that direction not the other member states of GCC

Saudis, qatar, iraq and Kuwait did not join this statement.

"High treason"… Shocking poll: 74% of Americans accuse Kushner of dragging Washington into the war for Israel’s benefit.
A new poll shows that 74% of Americans suspect that Jared Kushner “most likely committed high treason” by sabotaging Iranian peace negotiations and acting as an agent for Israel to push the United States into this war.

It's now unarguable that the war on Iran is one of the most blatant crimes of aggression in history.
You now have not 1 but 2 external participants of the US-Iran talks (Oman’s foreign minister and the UK's National Security Advisor) who confirm that the US and Israel attacked despite Iran effectively meeting US conditions for a deal - ensuring it could never build a nuclear weapon, permanently.
As per The Guardian article (theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…), Jonathan Powell "believed the path remained open to a negotiated solution to the long-running issue of how Iran could reassure the US that it was not seeking a nuclear weapon," and "UK officials [...] were impressed that Iran was prepared for the deal to be permanent."
Concretely, this means the war wasn't a failure of diplomacy but a deliberate destruction of it.
And it also means that the US and Israel have irresponsibly plunged the entire world in an unprecedented energy crisis, affecting the livelihoods of billions of people worldwide, when it was completely avoidable.
It's beyond me how you can look at this and not conclude that the real threat all along wasn't Iran but the US-Israeli axis - they're the only parties at the table who wanted war and are making every person on the planet pay the price for it.
Extraordinarily, even the UK National Security Advisor is now basically saying this.

@tparsi Shameful German government: the shame of Europe, opposite to Spain
English
The infantility of the German gov appears to have no limits. The German FM now says that "regimes like Iran cannot invoke international law.”
The most fundamental principle of international law is that it applies equally to all states. To challenge that is to declare yourself a rogue state.

@vali_nasr @nytimes Very skeptical about the truth of this information. Seems that US disinformation on this war is becoming increasingly prevalent
English
Just as the war is poised to escalate this leak could be adding fuel to fire. According to @nytimes "Mr. Trump is talking regularly to Arab leaders, particularly Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince. According to several officials, the advice Mr. Trump is getting from the prince is to keep hitting the Iranians hard — essentially repeating the advice that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who died in 2015, repeatedly gave to Washington: “Cut off the head of the snake."

@YasFarouk We have to take care and here is a huge disinformation campaign from US and Israel leaving open a very unlikely Israeli-Saudi normalisation. As Prince Turki Al Faisal said it in CNN: Abraham accords, forget about it.
English
One of the potentially positive outcomes of an Israeli-Saudi normalization might be a better Israeli understanding of their neighbors, namely here Saudi Arabia and how the system sees those supposedly "leaks" and disinformation about it. #begad

In #Saudi, they deny as “completely fictional” that #Israel’s Ron Dermer visited to discuss the issue of #Lebanon, as reported by Galatz & Israeli sources 👇

@Ola_Salem This is the only way to balance the power with an Israeli military hegemonic strategy in the MEast but UAE has to reconsider its policy stance. Small Arab Gulf states cannot anymore sustain such transformation without the most solid states: KSA, Oman in combination with Turkiye

@kdiwaniya @Ana3rabeya @elhamfakhro Fine thanks Kristin but as all of us very sad for what‘a occurring in that region. Where we have a longstanding attachment.

A truly excellent explanation of the Gulf security dilemma from a Gulf perspective by @elhamfakhro
When placed so eloquently in near historical context it’s hard to see a way out. Honestly what could these states have done? jadaliyya.com/Details/47233

@bmalsaif What a tragedy! Relying on outside countries for self security is a suicide! This is the hard lesson to learn from this situation dear friend Bader!

American forces will eventually “pack up and leave” the Middle East while Iran will remain a permanent neighbor.
“They’ve left Afghanistan. They’re leaving Iraq, and they’re going to leave our region as well. So we need to take matters into our own hands”
