A senior UAE official said the vitality of the Saudi approach reflects the hopes and aspirations of a new generation while Iran's approach and policies are a reflection of a regressive ideology.

He said that those who criticize Saudi Arabia know now that this weapon has become unusable.

"A positive Saudi vision recognizes the need to deal with the aspirations of a young generation and its aspiration for development and stability while an expansive Iranian vision stands for no development or consideration for the needs and aspirations of young people,” UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash tweeted.

"Interestingly, the critics and opponents of Saudi Arabia find that their conventional ammunition has become unusable in the face of vitality, renewal and a leadership role that imposes itself every day,” Gargash added.
