Saudi Destroys UAE's War Plan Against Iran; MBS Refuses To Side With Israel Ally Agains TehranAdded:
A dramatic new report has [music] revealed deep divisions inside the Gulf as the Iran conflict threatened to spiral into an all-out regional war.
According to Bloomberg, the United Arab Emirates quietly pushed fellow Gulf [music] nations to join a coordinated military campaign against Iran shortly after the United States and Israel [music] launched strikes targeting the Islamic Republic.
The report claims UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed personally contacted several powerful regional leaders [music] by phone, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, urging them to unite in a collective [music] response against Tehran.
But the effort reportedly failed.
Multiple [music] Gulf states are said to have rejected the proposal, exposing growing cracks inside one of the world's most strategically important regions.
The revelation could help explain why tensions have recently surfaced between the UAE and its Gulf [music] neighbors, including Abu Dhabi's surprise decision last month to pull out of the OPEC [music] cartel, a move that shocked global energy markets and raised questions about behind-the-scenes disagreements. I must say this is a sovereign decision that was reached after an extensive and thorough study and its benefits for uh for uh for us are clear.
Uh yes, uh it is perfectly clear to us that it is the inherent dynamism and the remarkable speed of our decision-making processes that truly align with our core national interests. Furthermore, the various international companies that have chosen to invest here in the UAE have vital interests that we are obligated to obligated to protect just as we must safeguard the interests of the many nations that rely upon the UAE.
Uh naturally, out of a deep respect for our fellow producers in the organization, while prioritizing the greater good, the precise timing of this decision was of the utmost importance to us. It had to be made at a moment that would not cause any disruption to the market at a time when the world is in such desperate need of our production.
The timing of this entire operation was very carefully and precisely calculated.
From our perspective, we genuinely believed that the public release of this decision would not have any significant or lasting impact on the market. The decision was officially released yesterday and the actual impact was in fact a price increase even though a great many people were anticipating a significant price drop. These are non-political decisions, decisions based on balancing supply and demand, based on market dynamics. So, we are professionals and we view this as a technical matter.
Our approach is entirely professional and we are making a significant positive contribution to the overall health of the global economy. We arrived at this specific decision with the best interests of our valued consumers in mind.
It is quite simply not possible for us to stand on the side of the producers while leaving the consumers behind given that they play a truly major role in the purchasing of oil and contribute in a very significant and meaningful way to the ongoing development of all our nations.
There will be no more shutdowns after this point. Who is able to provide us necessary guarantees so that we can operate accordingly and so that all the countries around the world that rely on oil imports can continue to function in a balanced and stable manner.
The entire world, once the strait is finally opened, God willing, will require massive significant quantities of oil. I honestly do not believe that the UAE on its own will be capable of covering this shortfall and I also do not think that the OPEC nations collectively can manage to to cover it.
I firmly believe that all the countries of the world must come together and cooperate.
Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the discussions, also reported that Saudi Arabia itself carried out strikes against Iran back in March.
However, Riyadh [music] allegedly shifted course soon afterward, backing Pakistani-led mediation efforts aimed at preventing the conflict [music] from exploding further.
The UAE was reportedly frustrated that it was sidelined from those diplomatic talks and denied [music] a larger regional role.
Meanwhile, Qatar, another key Gulf power, was said to be considering retaliation after Iran allegedly struck the Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas facility, the largest LNG plant on Earth.
But, Doha [music] ultimately chose not to respond militarily, fearing a wider regional catastrophe. Uh we condemn uh and I in the strongest terms the the attacks carried out by Iran against the Republic of Turkey, the brotherly Republic of Turkey.
And we affirm that these ongoing attacks and the expansion of the conflict will not serve the goals of security and stability in the region.
Uh furthermore, we also touched upon the events that transpired, specifically the attack that occurred yesterday at the energy complex in uh Ras Laffan. And unfortunately, this deliberate act of sabotage, which has uh and if anything, that this points to an aggressive policy, irresponsibility, and a dangerous escalation on the part of Iran, even though the state of Qatar condemned the Israeli attack on Iranian energy and infrastructure from the very first hour.
Uh Iran's official response to the recent Israeli attack was to launch a direct assault on the sovereign state of Qatar.
Uh of course, the the attacks are an ongoing series. They have targeted both military and civilian sites over the past 2 weeks.
The most recent of which was what happened at the Ras Laffan energy complex yesterday.
Thank God. Thank God there were no casualties and there is also working everyone is working. The team is currently working on assessing the damage, but this attack has major impacts on global energy supplies.
Such attacks do not provide any any tangible benefit to any nation. Rather, they only serve to inflict harm upon the people and have a direct negative impact on their lives.
Unfortunately, there are persistent Iranian claims that these attacks are against American interests or American bases in the state of Qatar and in countries in the region.
This claim is rejected and cannot be accepted under any justification.
And the most significant proof of that I mean the attack that took place just yesterday was actually on a natural gas facility in the state of Qatar, which is considered a source of livelihood for the Qatari people and not just for the Qatari people, but what they did yesterday also affected millions of the distressed people whom the state of Qatar helps.
These kinds of hostile actions, the continued pursuit of them and the further expansion of this war will lead to nothing more than a dangerous slide into even greater regional escalation.
The state of Qatar always calls for dialogue, diplomacy and a return to wisdom, but unfortunately, it seems that wisdom is missing these days.
The report also claims the Trump administration was fully aware of the UAE's efforts to build a joint Gulf military coalition against Iran.
Washington reportedly hoped Saudi Arabia and Qatar would eventually join the campaign alongside the UAE. [music] Instead, Gulf leaders appear to have stepped back from direct confrontation fearing the Middle East was already dangerously close to a full-scale regional inferno.
Now these explosive revelations are shedding light on the secret power struggles, [music] failed alliances, and diplomatic fractures unfolding behind closed doors as the Iran crisis pushed the Gulf to the brink.
