The Gulf states urge a reset with Iran as conflict drags on - FT
- Gulf governments have called for a reset on Iran, with the UAE pushing a "new mindset" and Qatar advocating for a regional "security framework" with Tehran following the conflict, which revealed their susceptibility to Iranian attack and harmed the US's credibility in the area.
- Qatari Prime Minister Sheik Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani called the war against Iran, initiated by the US and Israel in February, as a "wake-up call" during a side event at the UN General Assembly.
- He stated that the Gulf has to "act responsibly as a region and to ensure that we have good relations with Iran." "We are working toward that," he added. "Our regional partners believe in this."
