Gulf and Israeli officials have watched with unease as the U.S., Russia, China and the European Union hold talks in Vienna with Iran to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on its nuclear program.

“What the Gulf states are trying to do differently in this new phase is to keep their relations with contentious powers closer and try to undercut Iran,” said Sanam Vakil, deputy director of the Middle East North Africa program at Chatham House. At the same time, the Saudis have held several rounds of negotiations this year with Iran, with Iraq mediating, aimed at restoring diplomatic ties for the first time in six years. Sheikh Mohammed’s brother, U.A.E. National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, traveled to Tehran this month where he met Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and invited him to visit the U.A.E.
