   Iran and UAE Seek to Easing Tensions After BRICS Talks

   Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Tehran and the United Arab Emirates agreed to turn the page and build a future together following discussions at the BRICS summit in New Delhi. Pezeshkian met with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to focus on de-escalation, regional stability, and peace. Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged dialogue, peace, and the protection of navigation and seafarers during talks with Pezeshkian. Pezeshkian also stated that Tehran will not surrender to the United States.

   Why it matters

The high-level discussions in India bring together major economies and regional players to address ongoing security concerns. U.S. President Donald Trump stated he does not care about the proposed meetings between Iran and Gulf states regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Concurrently, US diesel prices hit a record six dollars a gallon as Houthi rebels in Yemen took the key Red Sea port city of Mokha.
