On July 29, according to Iran's Fars News Agency, citing Israel's Channel 12, Israeli and UAE officials recently held several secret meetings in an unnamed third country to discuss coordinating their positions on Iran and taking joint action in the international arena. The report stated that during the talks, the UAE strongly opposed the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, arguing that while the agreement might buy Iran time to improve its economic situation, it offered no substantial concessions. The two sides also discussed coordinating measures against Iran within international organizations, but agreed that any action would require prior consultation with the Trump administration. The report cited Western diplomatic sources as saying that the UAE's stance on Iran is tougher than some Gulf states, and that its ability to export energy through alternative routes strengthens its shared interests with Israel in dealing with the Iranian issue.
