UAE Says 3,300 Iranian Missiles Made Restoring Trust a Mountain to Climb

Summary
3,300 missiles and drones launched by Tehran at UAE civilian infrastructure over six months have left rebuilding trust with Iran far harder than restoring formal relations, presidential adviser Anwar Gargash said.
Gargash called Iran's attacks on Gulf states a strategic miscalculation that deepened Tehran's regional isolation and damaged its diplomatic ties across the Gulf.
Gulf states showed they could repel Iranian strikes individually, but he said they still failed to produce an effective collective regional strategy.
The remarks point to a long, difficult normalization path with Iran even after the war, with confidence-building likely to lag behind any diplomatic re-engagement.
