Arab Gulf states reject ‘new geopolitical facts’ born from aggression: UAE presidential adviser

• UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash rejects attempts to impose new realities on Arab Gulf states through “aggression”.
• He warns such actions would undermine stability and increase regional conflict risks, including in the Strait of Hormuz.

UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash said that “new geopolitical facts” cannot be imposed on Arab Gulf states through what he described as a “treacherous aggression against them.”

In a post on X, Gargash argued that enforcing a “fait accompli from the womb of aggression” would not bring stability but instead deepen future tensions.

Gargash specifically pointed to the Strait of Hormuz, warning that instability in the strategic waterway would have wider regional consequences.

He said such approaches “sow new seeds of discord and conflict for the future,” underscoring the sensitivity of Gulf maritime security.
