According to CoinMeta, Anwar Gargash, a senior official from the United Arab Emirates, warned on Monday that the Middle East region may face a long period of uncertainty. He stated that it seems difficult for the United States and Iran to reach an agreement in order to end the war, which has lasted for over eight months, through a comprehensive political solution. Gargash also mentioned that the consequences of the war between the United States and Iran "may persist for a long time," which requires the UAE to increase its investment in "defense capabilities, maintaining credible deterrence forces, and strengthening international security partnerships."
