Qatar's postwar proposal
The Financial Times and The National reported Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari's proposal for a sustainable regional relationship with Iran after the war. Al Ansari said Gulf states would continue living beside Iran regardless of how it is governed. His framework combines a diplomatic settlement, regional dialogue and security guarantees. The remarks state Qatar's approach; they do not establish that negotiations between the parties have concluded.[1], [2]
Economic ties and security guarantees
Al Ansari presented economic interdependence as one foundation for long-term stability. The National reported that economic interests and security guarantees were being considered within an arrangement intended to reduce the risk of future confrontation. The Financial Times also placed Qatar's proposal within Gulf states' search for a postwar relationship with Iran. The stated vision does not treat commercial ties alone as a peace agreement; it makes them part of a security framework built alongside political dialogue.[1], [2]
A parallel call from the UAE
The Financial Times reported that United Arab Emirates presidential adviser Anwar Gargash also called for a new approach between Arab states and Tehran. Qatar's economic-interdependence proposal and the UAE's call for a new relationship show two Gulf governments discussing a postwar order. The stated views contain no concrete negotiation timetable or text ready for signature. They describe a diplomatic direction without yet specifying who would provide the security guarantees or how they would operate.[1]
