Putin Promises to Tell Iran About UAE's Concerns

Vladimir Putin spoke with UAE leader Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Monday. He said he would forward the Emirati complaints about Iranian attacks to Tehran.

Both leaders agreed that a quick ceasefire and a return to talks are essential.During the call, Putin also criticized the United States and Israel for an “unprovoked act of armed aggression” that he believes has stalled efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. The Kremlin noted that Dubai is a favorite spot for Russian tourists and thanked the UAE president for his support of Russians in the current situation. The conversation highlights how Moscow and Abu Dhabi are trying to influence Tehran’s actions amid ongoing regional conflict.
