Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the president of United Arab Emirates, believes that the Gulf states should be provided with assurances against future attacks, a Qazinform News Agency correspondent reports.
A peace agreement regarding Iran should include obligations for the Islamic Republic to pay reparations to the countries of the Persian Gulf for the damage caused.
Gargash added that, prior to the conflict, Iran “deceived its neighbours” about its intentions. The adviser described the actions of the Islamic Republic as “premeditated aggression,” making both of the aforementioned tracks essential in countering the regime.
Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that Iran expressed its readiness for possible U.S. ground action.
