He discusses headlines such as ‘The Dubai Dream is Over’ in the Western media and the motivation for this coverage against the city, the desire among the UAE’s leadership circles for Iran and other neighbors to prosper despite the war, why the Gulf States did not retaliate against Iranian strikes against the GCC, his response to Iran’s premise of attacking GCC states for hosting US military bases, Iran’s assertion of control over the Strait of Hormuz and how it affects shipping, the impact of the US-Israeli war against Iran on the real estate sector in Dubai, and much more.
