I want to be very clear - the door to diplomacy remains open.

Talks in Geneva made genuine progress towards an unprecedented agreement between Iran and the United States and although the hope was to avoid war, war should not mean that the hope of peace is extinguished.

I still believe in the power of diplomacy to resolve this conflict. The sooner talks are resumed the better it is for everyone.

Unfortunately, I had to leave Dubai for Europe a week ago — so I’m not only missing the free fireworks from Iran, but also exposing myself to greater risk.

Given Europe’s crime rates, Dubai is statistically safer even with missiles flying. Can’t wait to be back.
