イランに対するブッシュの憎悪のスピーチはアラブ首長国連邦の反対を引く

Emiratiの何人かの役人および解説者は米国の大統領のアラブ首長国連邦のスピーチの後でイランに対して軍事活動に反対を表明した。

ジョージW.米国の大統領。 イランに対してアラビアサポートの上で再び集まることを望む中東旅行にあるブッシュは彼が日曜日のアブダビで提供したスピーチのテヘランを、攻撃した。 スピーチはアラブ首長国連邦(アラブ首長国連邦)の興味深い反作用を引いた。

「イラン人は私達が(彼らの選択と)同意するかどうか、彼らの自身の政府を選ぶ。 They don’t need what he said,” said Jamal al-Suwaidi the Director General of the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research, a government-backed think tank which sponsored Bush’s address.

He was referring to parts of the speech where Bush claimed that Iran was ’the world’s leading state sponsor of terror’ and told the Iranian people they deserve a better government.

“It would be very dangerous if Iran develops nuclear weapons. But to hit Iran is something else… Nobody wants it [a US strike on Iran],” al-Suwaidi told AFP after Bush delivered the address.

Mariam al-Hammadee of the UAE’s Federal Environmental Agency said she would have preferred a less confrontational speech. “The region cannot put up with another war … In fact, the world badly needs peace,” she said.

She noted that the UAE has wide-ranging trading links with Iran and hosts a large number of Iranians, who are estimated to number around 400,000 in the oil-rich country.

An official UAE source also told AFP that he did not expect Bush’s remarks to harm ties between Abu Dhabi and Tehran. Bush’s remarks “do not commit the UAE to anything”, he said, requesting anonymity.

“[Iranian President] Ahmadinejad also came here [last May] and spoke,” the source noted, referring to a speech in which he warned that Iran would retaliate strongly for any US attack.

The UAE faces Iran across the Persian Gulf, which means that “the option of the negotiations [to resolve the nuclear row] failing is not an option”, the official added.
