On the other hand, the region is experiencing growing tension surrounding the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United Arab Emirates. TGRT HABER, a Turkish channel that frequently reports on regional concerns, notes that Iran responded sharply to the visit, with threats from Tehran that "those who sow the seeds of discord will be held accountable." At the same time, reports indicate that the Trump administration in the US continues to set strict conditions for any future agreement, while demanding the abandonment of nuclear ambitions.
