President Sheikh Mohamed meets Emir of Qatar in Doha
President Sheikh Mohamed on Wednesday arrived in Doha, where he was met by Sheikh Tamim, Emir of Qatar.
They discussed the latest developments in the Middle East, as well as joint efforts to strengthen relations, before talks focused on the Israel-Iran ceasefire, state news agency Wam reported.
Both leaders stressed the importance of strengthening dialogue and diplomatic solutions as the only way to overcome regional crises and maintain regional and global security.
The visit follows a phone call between the two men on Tuesday, during which Sheikh Mohamed expressed hope that the ceasefire would bolster 'security, stability and peace across the Middle East'.
The UAE leader praised Sheikh Tamim for his role in securing the truce and emphasised the importance of continued co-ordination and joint action to ensure the success of the agreement.
Sheikh Mohamed also expressed the UAE's full support for Qatar following the thwarted Iranian attack on the Al Udeid airbase in the country on Monday night.
He enquired after the well-being of the people of Qatar and reaffirmed the UAE's condemnation of the attack, and its support for measures taken by Qatar to safeguard its sovereignty, security and the safety of its citizens.
The attack on the US military airbase, retaliation for America bombing Iranian nuclear sites at the weekend, led to the closure of airspace above Qatar, Bahrain and Iraq and the diversion of some flights.
US President Donald Trump said America would hold talks with Iran next week, with a possible agreement on the table about Tehran's nuclear programme.
'We're going to talk to them next week, with Iran. We may sign an agreement, I don't know. To me, I don't think it's that necessary.
'I mean, they had a war, they fought, now they're going back to their world. I don't care if I have an agreement or not,' Mr Trump said during a news conference at the end of a Nato summit in The Hague.
The delegation accompanying Sheikh Mohamed includes Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence; Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohamed, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Special Affairs; Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad, Adviser to the President; Ali bin Hammad Al Shamsi, Secretary General of Supreme Council for National Security; Omar Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications; Faisal Abdulaziz Al Bannai, Adviser to the President for Strategic Research and Advanced Technology Affairs; Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa, the UAE's ambassador to Qatar, and several senior officials.

Yemeni Gov't Warns Iran Is Transferring Military Industry to Houthi-Controlled Areas
The internationally recognized Yemeni government has issued a stark warning that Iran is relocating parts of its military industrial program to areas under the control of the Houthi militia in northern Yemen, raising alarms over regional security and maritime safety. In a statement released Thursday, Yemeni Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said recent missile strikes by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) revealed operational similarities with Houthi attacks, exposing what he described as a 'direct Iranian role' in managing military operations from within Yemen. Al-Eryani noted that the ballistic and hypersonic missiles, as well as suicide drones used by the IRGC, mirror the weaponry deployed by the Houthis since late 2023 in attacks on neighboring countries and international shipping lanes in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and Gulf of Aden. He warned that Iran appears to be establishing missile and drone production facilities in the provinces of Saada, Hajjah, and rural areas around Sana'a, following increased international pressure on its domestic weapons programs and recent strikes on Iranian infrastructure. The minister called on the international community to take the threat seriously, cautioning that Iran's actions could turn Yemen into a forward operating base for prohibited weapons programs, jeopardizing regional stability and obstructing any prospects for a political resolution. Al-Eryani urged a shift from a policy of containment to one of firm confrontation against what he described as 'compound threats' posed by Iran and its regional proxies, particularly the Houthis.
