He said the area had historically been a space of connection among Arabs, Lurs, Persians and Baloch, where opportunities for a dignified life were closely linked to the prosperity of Gulf Arab countries. However, he added that the Iranian regime had turned what was once a bridge for cooperation and development into a base for hostile actions against neighbouring states. Drawing a contrast, Gargash said the UAE hosts an Iranian community, which is treated with respect and appreciation, reflecting a model founded on tolerance and the rule of law, as stated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He said the distinction reflects a big difference between “a mindset that builds life, and another that sees destruction as the only path.” UAE affirms embrace of Iranian community: MoFA Iranian missile intercepted near key Abu Dhabi zone Weak regional response to Iran hard to justify: Gargash Gargash: Iran aggression drives stronger GCC ties Gargash warns Iran rhetoric breaches international law Gargash: Iran attacks 'blatant and irresponsible'
