Iran, as one of the important countries in the Middle East, will send a delegation to attend the UN General Assembly in New York. This comes as Mahmoud Abbas, the President of Palestine, has not received permission to enter the United States. It is expected that Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, will join this international meeting, while Mr. Abbas will only be able to deliver a speech via video.
Houthis' Commitment to the Security of American Ships
In another development, Houthi rebels are indirectly communicating with American officials to assure them that their control over the Yemeni Red Sea coast, overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, will not lead to attacks on American ships. Sources in Sanaa have stated that these discussions are aimed at reducing tensions and ensuring the security of maritime transport in this vital region.
UAE Actions in Combating Financial Crimes
On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates has arrested a Swedish fugitive who was wanted by Interpol for leading an international money laundering network. This action demonstrates the UAE's determination to combat financial crimes and its efforts to maintain security and economic stability in the region.
Additionally, visitors to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, recognized as one of the major tourist attractions in the city, will now have to pay an entry fee of 5 dirhams for UAE ID holders and 10 dirhams for foreign tourists. However, the mosque will remain free for worshippers.
Finally, Dr. Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic advisor to President Sheikh Mohammed, emphasized the importance of maintaining communication lines with Iran and noted that attacks must cease to allow for negotiations for a new future.
