UAE, US Leaders Confer on Escalating Middle East Situation

(MENAFN) United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan holds a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump to address growing security concerns across the Middle East, according to information cited by reports early Monday.

During the call, the two leaders examine what is described as "the blatant Iranian attacks on the territory of the UAE and a number of brotherly countries in the region" and evaluate the potential consequences for regional stability.

The discussion also covers wider developments unfolding across the region and their possible effects on both regional and global peace and security. The two sides exchange perspectives on the rapidly changing situation and its broader implications.

Tensions surge on Saturday after the United States and Israel launch military strikes against Iran, resulting in the deaths of several senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, Tehran carries out multiple drone and missile attacks aimed at Israel, US-linked assets, and several Gulf states.
