RIYADH (The Thursday Times) — Saudi Wali-e-Ahd Mohammed bin Salman ne UAE par Iran ke hamlon ki shadeed muzammat ki hai, aur UAE ke Sadr Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan se kaha hai ke saltanat Abu Dhabi ke saath us ki amn aur istehkam ke difa mein mazbooti se khari hai.
Yeh paigham Saudi Arab ke Wali-e-Ahd aur Wazir-e-Azam Shehzada Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud aur UAE ke Sadr Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan ke darmiyan telephone call mein samne aaya, jo Iran ke un hamlon ke baad hui jin se Khaleej bhar mein kashidgi mein tez izafa hua hai.
Bayan ke mutabiq, Saudi Wali-e-Ahd ne saltanat ki taraf se hamlon ki "shadeed muzammat aur mazammat" ka izhar kiya, aur unhein bila jawaz aur aik biradar mulk ke khilaf qarar diya. Alfaz do took, soch samajh kar chune gaye aur siyasi taur par ahem thay, jin se Riyadh mazbooti se Abu Dhabi ke saath khara nazar aaya, aise waqt mein jab Khaleeji dar-ul-hukumat ilaqai kashidgi barhne ke khatre ko barhti hui tashweesh se dekh rahe hain.
Shehzada Mohammed ne UAE ke liye Saudi Arab ki himayat ki bhi tasdeeq ki, jab woh apni amn aur istehkam ka difa kar raha hai. Yeh jumla aise khitte mein wazan rakhta hai jahan sifarati alfaz aksar naap tol kar istemal kiye jate hain. Yeh sirf Emirati qiyadat se yakjehti hi nahin, balke Saudi Arab ke is wasee tar nuqta-e-nazar ka bhi ishara hai ke Khaleej ki amn par hamlon ko alag thalag waqiat nahin samjha ja sakta.
Telephone call mein ilaqai pesh raft ka jaiza aur khitte mein amn aur istehkam ko mazboot banane ke raste bhi shamil thay. Agarche bayan mein mazeed tafseelat nahin di gayi, waqt se zahir hota hai ke donon rehnuma hamlon ke asraat ko qaboo mein rakhne par tawajjoh de rahe hain, aur saath hi tezi se badalte hue security mahaul mein apne radd-e-amal ko hum-ahang bana rahe hain.
For the UAE, the Saudi statement offers important regional backing. Abu Dhabi has long positioned itself as a state built around stability, commerce, energy security and international connectivity. Any attack on Emirati territory, particularly from across the Gulf, carries implications far beyond national security. It touches global energy routes, investor confidence and the fragile architecture of Gulf diplomacy.
For Saudi Arabia, the call allows Riyadh to draw a clear line without abandoning the language of regional stability. The Crown Prince’s message was one of condemnation, but also one of coordination. By pairing support for the UAE with a review of broader regional developments, Riyadh appeared to frame the issue as part of a larger struggle to prevent the Gulf from sliding into a wider confrontation.
