Tehran: – Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the National Security Adviser (NSA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), visited Iran and met with President Ibrahim Raisi. For the past few years, Arab countries have been expressing concerns that Iran, its nuclear program and terrorism, are a threat to their security. Iran had threatened a few months ago that joining the Abraham agreement with Israel would face severe consequences for the UAE. In such a scenario, the visit of the UAE’s NSA to Iran becomes noteworthy.
On Monday, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan met Ali Shamkhani, the Chief of the National Security Council of Iran. The talks focused on bilateral cooperation between the UAE and Iran and regional issues. ‘Establishing friendly cooperation between the UAE and Iran is a priority for the UAE,’ he said. No further details have been released.
Sheikh Tahnoon is the brother of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed of the UAE. For the past few years, Sheikh Tahanoon has been working as the UAE’s National Security Adviser. Sheikh Tahnoon met with the head of the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, after cooperation was established under the Abraham agreement with Israel last year. In such a scenario, Sheikh Tahnoon’s visit to Iran shows that the diplomatic activities in the Gulf have intensified.
