After the Iran War, is the UAE the odd man out?

The recent diplomatic efforts led by Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to facilitate talks between the U.S. and Iran have shifted the focus away from conflict escalation, causing some to question the role of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in these regional dynamics. As the Gulf Cooperation Council collectively breathes a sigh of relief over the de-escalation, the UAE finds itself potentially sidelined, highlighting its unique position in the region. This shift underscores broader tensions within the GCC and could reshape alliances and influence in the Middle East.
