at least as long as the current context remains/continues, really don't think the UAE/other Arab states would ever start something relative to those islands without our clearance/apart from our taking action on the larger issue -- and if, as hopefully it will, the larger issue is resolved without conflict, then I think all there better get used to Iran keeping those islands
that was all
