The geopolitical split between Gulf powers is increasingly on show over their response to the aftermath of the US-Iran war.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are moving toward reconciliation: Riyadh is reportedly arranging a peace summit, while Doha wants to initiate talks on resuming shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

But the UAE — which suffered the vast majority of Iranian attacks, rocking its reputation as a business hub — is not in a hurry to move on. A diplomatic adviser to the Emirati president warned against “imposing a fait accompli born of aggression.”

It falls to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to keep everyone happy: He will be in Bahrain today to shore up support for the interim truce.
