Neither War Nor Peace: Gulf States Warn the Hormuz Standoff Is Running on Borrowed Time

‼️ Current and former US and Iranian officials expect the conflict to drag on for months, with both sides deadlocked and sporadic fighting breaking weeks-long lulls. “The state of neither war nor peace cannot be a sustainable solution,” UAE senior foreign-policy advisor Anwar Gargash said on X after the country intercepted an Iranian drone over its territorial waters, adding that realistic political solutions must address the crisis’s political and economic dimensions, starting with de-escalation and restoring normal navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE denied an IRGC claim that its Al Minhad airbase near Dubai was hit by missiles, saying its forces remain on high alert after fending off the drone attack.
