The UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Anwar Gargash, said that the interference of the Arab coalition in Yemen prevented it from falling into the sphere of Iranian influence.
Al-Arabiya channel quoted Dr. Qaragha El Sh in a meeting with the Emirati Society in London, saying, "Iran cannot achieve what it wants through its provocative activities."
He considered that the Vienna nuclear agreement failed due to the lack of an obligation on Iran to abandon its destructive activities, stressing that the Vienna agreement limited to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is not enough.
At the same time, the UAE Minister of State affirmed his country's support for truce calls with Iran, stressing in that regard the need to reach a political solution that would end tension with Iran.
The US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, accused Iran on Tuesday of being the largest state sponsor of terrorism, and called for an international effort to prevent it from testing ballistic missiles.
Pompeo tweeted on Twitter: "The largest state sponsor of terrorism must be prevented from testing ballistic missiles."
Commenting on Iran's failed experience of launching a satellite, on Sunday, the US Secretary of State wrote that "Iran is using satellite launches to boost its ballistic capability."
Pompeo stressed that "strengthening Iran's missile capability threatens regional stability."
On Monday, France criticized the use of a ballistic missile in the launch process, stressing that Tehran violated this experiment with the relevant UN Security Council resolution.
Resolution 2231 of the UN Security Council calls on Iran to "refrain from any activity related to ballistic missiles that are manufactured to carry nuclear charges, including launches that use ballistic missile technology."
On Sunday, Tehran failed to put the satellite in its orbit, in a repetition of similar failures.
