❗️UAE Energy Minister claims Emirates 'better prepared' for any upcoming military escalation Speaking at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) and reported by international news outlets, Emirati Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail al-Mazrouei claimed that while the outcome of the US-Israeli war on Iran cannot be predicted, the United Arab Emirates will be significantly more prepared for any upcoming military escalation. Addressing energy ministers and global trade executives today, Mazrouei emphasized that Abu Dhabi has reinforced its national energy contingencies to shield domestic production, infrastructure, and maritime logistics from severe external shocks. The energy minister's remarks come amid heightened anxiety across regional energy hubs as global oil markets experience extreme volatility over fears of US military strikes against Iran. While US President Donald Trump stated he would refrain from initiating broad combat operations prior to Tuesday's US midterm elections, his public warnings that Washington stands ready to launch additional military operations against Iran have kept crude prices elevated and maritime insurance premiums near historic highs across West Asia.
