1 小时 2 分钟I'm Dan Kurtz-Phelan and this is the Foreign Affairs Interview.
We do need peace, but I think also we need peace that will last.
We don't need, you know, sort of a patch-up job
where suddenly within 3 months, 4 months, 5 months we have another outbreak.
I think we need something with more permanency.
And for that to happen, you really have to have substantive discussions,
and you have to have them at different levels.
From what we know, Iran's neighbors,
even those long at odds with the Islamic Republic,
were opposed to the war that started last February.
Yet it is those Middle Eastern states that have paid some of the highest costs.
As their governments grapple with the consequences of a war that is still far from settled,
they are also struggling to understand and to shape a new Middle Eastern order.
But there is little consensus about what that order should be
or what it should mean for relationships with the United States and China,
for future economic models, or for the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

He long served as the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in the United Arab Emirates
and is now diplomatic advisor to the UAE's president.
