A Glimmer of Diplomacy in a Region Scarred by War The BRICS summit has provided an unlikely platform for Iran and the UAE to engage in their highest level talks since the conflict began.
Behind closed doors, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Khaled bin Mohamed Al Nahyan, a gathering that appears to have achieved little more than a mutual expression of restraint.
Tensions between the two countries remain high, following weeks of escalating attacks and missile strikes. Just recently, Iranian missiles rained down on the UAE, causing destruction and civilian casualties.
