Anwar Gargash, adviser to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, published a post on X in which he attacked Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. He claimed that "after 1,909 Iranian attacks against the UAE, Araghchi still accuses the UAE of attacking Iran." According to him, "the UAE has the right to defend itself against aggression, but it continues to prioritize logic, exercise restraint and seek a way out for Iran and the region."
