OPEC oil output dropped in August because Saudi exports faced new disruptions from the war in Iran and a United States blockade cut Iranian shipments. Meanwhile, escalating attacks on Gulf shipping and Houthi threats in the Red Sea will delay a recovery in Middle East oil flows into next year.

Gargash also stated that Iran launched 3,300 missiles and drones at the UAE, with most targeting civilian sites. Rebuilding diplomatic trust with Tehran remains a significant challenge described as a mountain to climb.
