Parliament speaker, Emirati VP discuss de-escalation efforts after war
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and the United Arab Emirates Vice President Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan discussed de-escalation efforts as the US-Israeli aggression against Iran has plunged the region into a wider conflict.
The UAE state news agency WAM reported on Wednesday that discussions between the Emirati official over the phone with the Iranian speaker dwelt on regional developments and ways to de-escalate tensions in the region.
Qalibaf led the Iranian delegation during recent negotiations between Iran and the US in Pakistan’s capital.
The phone call was the first contact between the two countries’ officials since the establishment of a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the US, which temporarily ended the US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
During the aggression, the US military bases and economic benefits in the UAE as well as the Arab country’s refineries and oil fields were the target of Iran’s retaliatory attacks.
Iran had earlier warned the regional countries about the US’s use of their territories to launch strikes on Iran.
