Rebuilding trust between Abu Dhabi and Tehran will take “ages and ages”, AFP reports, citing UAE presidential advisor Anwar Gargash, after Iran retaliated with strikes on the American assets in the United Arab Emirates during the US-Israel war against Iran.

“You can’t be attacked with 2,800 missiles and drones and then talk to me about trust. That will take ages and ages,” Gargash says at a World Policy Conference in the town of Chantilly near Paris.
