[UAE and Iran Hold Face-to-Face Meeting to Ease Tensions] BlockBeats News, June 11, according to Bloomberg, sources revealed that senior national security officials from the UAE and Iran held their first face-to-face meeting since the U.S. and Israel launched military actions against Tehran. Sources stated that this week's meeting marks a significant shift in attitudes from both sides, with a growing recognition of the importance of establishing smoother bilateral relations. UAE leaders hope that their ambitious economic plans—including multi-billion-dollar investments to boost oil production and build artificial intelligence data centers—can proceed as scheduled. For Iran, relations with the UAE are equally critical, as the UAE was one of Iran's largest trading partners among Gulf countries before the war and a key channel for Iran's sanctioned oil exports. Since the war broke out at the end of February, Iran has attacked the UAE more frequently than any other country. Abu Dhabi has repeatedly retaliated and has taken the toughest stance against Iran among its Arab neighbors. The UAE now appears to be following a similar path to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, attempting to ease tensions through diplomatic means. (Jin10)
