UAE Builds Alternative Trade, Energy Routes After Iran Attacks, Official Says
Anwar Gargash said the UAE is expanding ports, pipelines and railways as it seeks to shield exports from the Iran conflict.
- On Monday, the United Arab Emirates announced it is building alternative energy export routes, including eastern coast ports and pipelines, to ensure trade is not "held hostage" by the ongoing war with Iran.
- Tehran's missile strikes and attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have severely impacted Gulf Arab states, prompting the urgent shift toward alternative infrastructure corridors.
- UAE presidential diplomatic adviser Anwar Gargash told the Hili Forum in Abu Dhabi that the country is developing railways and trade routes to bypass the strategic waterway during hostilities.
- Citing military escalation, the UAE suspended all financial and economic transactions with the Islamic Republic in August, while Gargash criticized Gulf Arab states for their collective response falling short.
- Although a functional relationship with Iran "can and must be restored," Gargash warned that rebuilding trust with neighbors following the attacks "may take decades," underscoring deep regional strain.
