UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan spoke with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday, their first public high-level contact since the US-Iran war began this year. They discussed the June 17 US-Iran MoU, which extended a 60-day ceasefire, reopened the vital Strait of Hormuz for shipping, and lifted the US naval blockade on Iranian ports in exchange for nuclear talks. The call came as Iran's IRGC denied US claims of a new deconfliction hotline, following Trump's accusation of Iranian drone attacks on ships that tested the truce. Gulf states like the UAE, dependent on the strait for 20% of global oil flows, stressed diplomacy to prevent escalation.
