Rubio meets UAE president, reaffirms US security commitment after Iran war

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed to reaffirm US security commitments following the Iran war. They discussed safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and Rubio praised the UAE's resilience against Iranian attacks.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held talks with United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Wednesday, reaffirming Washington's commitment to the Gulf nation's security in the aftermath of the Iran conflict, according to a CNN report.

Security assurances and regional stability

The two leaders discussed "efforts to secure full and safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and the importance of peace and stability in the region," State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said. Rubio thanked the UAE for its "leadership and unparalleled support," praised its "courage and resilience in the face of Iran's attacks," and reiterated the US commitment to the Emirates' security.

Context of the Gulf tour

Rubio's visit marks the first trip by a senior US official to the Middle East since Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding last week aimed at ending the regional conflict. The tour is seen as an effort to reassure Gulf allies that bore the brunt of Iranian attacks during the war. The UAE was hit by more than 2,800 Iranian missiles and drones—more than any other country in the region. Rubio is scheduled to visit Kuwait and Bahrain, where he will attend a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting.
