The United Arab Emirates has joined Saudi Arabia and Qatar in urging U.S. President Donald Trump not to restart military conflict with Iran and instead to give negotiations a chance, according to reports citing people familiar with the outreach. The diplomatic push comes as Gulf states weigh the risk that renewed hostilities could destabilize regional economies and disrupt energy markets. Business Standard and Times of India describe the effort as part of wider diplomatic outreach by Gulf countries to Washington amid concerns over escalation with Iran. Bloomberg similarly reports that the UAE has intensified its engagement in recent days, aligning with Saudi and Qatari messages that diplomacy should be pursued. Times of India also notes that Gulf leaders argue military action would not achieve U.S. objectives and highlights that the UAE’s position reflects sensitivity to the possibility of renewed conflict following recent regional tensions. Across the accounts, the common theme is caution among the three Gulf states: they seek to prevent further escalation while encouraging a negotiated approach with Iran.
