ABU DHABI: Israeli influence in the Gulf will increase as a result of Iran’s strategy in the region, UAE presidential advisor Anwar Gargash said on Sunday, as Tehran pressed an air campaign against its neighbours.
“The Iranian strategy will actually concretise the American role… It will not reduce it. We will also see Israeli influence become more prominent in the Gulf, not less,” Gargash said, in remarks released to the media on Sunday.
