US Senator Marco Rubio has touched down in the United Arab Emirates, marking the beginning of a crucial Gulf tour aimed at rallying regional support for the newly negotiated US-Iran nuclear deal. Rubio, a long-time critic of the agreement, is now seeking to advance the accord with key partners in the Middle East, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. As the US works to build a coalition to enforce the deal, Rubio's diplomatic efforts are expected to be closely watched, particularly given his prominent role in shaping US foreign policy in the region. With tensions between Iran and its Gulf neighbors still simmering, Rubio's Gulf tour promises to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing diplomatic dance between Washington and Tehran.
