On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin held separate phone conversations with leaders of Arab states regarding the strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran and its ongoing retaliation.

Putin had conversations with several leaders, including Saudi Arabia’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.

Every nation voiced grave concern regarding the high risks of the conflict geographically expanding and its potentially unpredictable and devastating repercussions.

During his conversation with the Saudi leader, Putin emphasized the necessity of addressing the “extremely dangerous situation” through diplomatic methods. The Crown Prince remarked that Russia could act as a mediator due to its amicable relations with the Gulf states.

During their call, the Russian President and King Khalifa concurred that the ongoing developments are detrimental in many ways, one of which is that they endanger the security of numerous states in the Middle East.

However, Putin and Emir Al Thani expressed hope that Iran’s retaliation would not inflict harm on civilians or civilian infrastructure, including the tourism and transportation facilities of neighboring countries.

Meanwhile, the leader of the UAE stressed that Iran’s retaliation had a direct impact on the Emirate, resulting in damage to the nation and endangering its citizens.

Al Nahyan stated that the strikes were entirely unwarranted because they occurred even though the UAE was not being utilized to launch assaults on the Islamic Republic.

Putin expressed his readiness to communicate the signals to Tehran and to offer all possible help to stabilize the regional situation in his response.

The United States, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have denounced Iran’s “indiscriminate and reckless missile and drone attacks” on sovereign territories throughout the region.

They claimed that the so-called “unjustified strikes” posed a threat to civilians and harmed infrastructure, describing attacks on populations and nations not involved in hostilities as “reckless and destabilizing behavior.”

The countries issued a joint statement on Sunday, characterizing Tehran’s actions as “a dangerous escalation” that infringes upon the sovereignty of several states and poses a threat to regional stability.

The allies reaffirmed their commitment to regional security and their right to self-defense, praising the “effective air and missile defense cooperation” that has averted greater loss of life and destruction.
