The UAE is negotiating the reopening of its embassy in Syria and return of its ambassdor to Damascus, six years after the mission was closed due to the country's bloody war, Russian newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta reported on Monday.
A source in Damascus told the outlet that Emirati officials have been meeting with the Syrian regime to restore its diplomatic mission in the capital, in a sign of Abu Dhabi's warming relations with Bashar al-Assad's regime.
According to the source, an Emirati diplomat is already based permanently in Damascus, while other officials make regular visits to the Syrian capital.
The report added that barbed-wire and concrete barriers have been removed from the UAE's embassy and that Egyptian officials are also involved in the negotiations.

The report comes days after pro-regime Al-Masdar News reported that Saudi Arabia was communicating with Syrian authorities through the UAE to reconcile.
The outlet said the first step towards reconciliation would be the reopening of the UAE embassy in Damascus, citing a source in Damascus.
With the exception of Oman, Gulf states closed their missions in Syria after the outbreak of the conflict in 2011, when Assad's forces gunned down peaceful protesters.
Some of the Gulf states have supported factions of the Syrian opposition during the seven-year conflict, providing arms to various rebel groups in an attempt to counter Iranian support for the Syrian regime.
Recent developments have indicated that the Gulf states are now reaching out to reconcile with the Assad regime.
Last month, Assad told a Kuwaiti newspaper that Syria has reached a "major understanding" with Arab states after years of hostility.
He said Arab and Western delegations have started visiting Syria to prepare for the reopening of diplomatic missions.
The interview came on the heels of a surprisingly warm encounter between Syria's foreign minister, Walid al-Muallem, and his Bahraini counterpart, Khalid bin Ahmed al-Khalifa, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
The encounter raised questions as to whether certain Gulf countries - most of them sworn enemies of Assad's ally Iran - are reconsidering their relations with Damascus as the war winds down.

Syria is a big lesson for countries without nukes.

Russia stepped in and changed the game in Syria, otherwise it would have been Iraq 2.0.

This is one of the reasons I am convinced that this whole USA-Iran animosity is a big show, a massive dog & pony show. Iran would not stand a chance against one US carrier group, let alone the whole empire.

The countries who felt a real, actual threat tried their best and acquired nuclear capability at all costs. Those who didn't deserved what they got.

True, plus Iran is vital to Russia's national security. That's why Iran got S-300PM2. If Iran gets invaded, Russia knows the real target is Russia so Russia will enter the war and it'll be a bloody mess for everyone involved.

Ask the crazy mullah regime in Iran who despite uttering threats against the USA and their most important outpost Israel is still enjoying their rule without any serious ramifications from uttering those threats. Whereas Pakistan who never once even postured in a negative way towards the USA nor Israel had to fight a deadly proxy war waged against it for the last 17+ years.

When you start thinking about the so called brotherly relations the crazy mullahs in Terhan enjoy with the crazy hinduist sadhus in New Dehli, it all starts to make sense.

True, plus Iran is vital to Russia's national security. That's why Iran got S-300PM2. If Iran gets invaded, Russia knows the real target is Russia so Russia will enter the war and it'll be a bloody mess for everyone involved.

Had Iran been so vital to Russia's security, the Russians would have given them complete support in achieving the nuclear status. Some things are not adding up here.

You do not claim to be the sworn enemy of the American empire and not have nukes. That literally is your only defence against the US military industrial complex.

No I am asking YOU.
On Iran & israel & the US.. well if we put "8 years war that costed 1000 billions $ with deadly CW attacks that took 100 k Iranian lives, shooting down Iranian air line passenger with 300 ppl on board including 66 kids within Iranian territorial waters, hitting Iran oil fields and warships in Persian gulf, sanctions on our oil industry, occupying our 2 neighbors calling us the next target, sending spy drones within our territories, assassination of our nuclear scientists, sabotaging our N facilities, making the most deadliest viruses to attack Iran infrastructure, imposing the toughest sanctions ever including Iran central bank, arming and supporting terrorists against Iran even they've got the opportunity to hold their meetings with American presidents funds and top official attending them in Paris, creating isis which the main target was Iran, tearing up Iran nuclear deal and so on" aside then I totally agree there has never been any ramification at all but the answer is clear the war with Iran is something that no sane person would think of it.

Your proxy war didn't start 17 years ago but actually started in early 70s and you started it.

The Iranian mullah regime has been completely supportive of the USA wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The Afghan war spilled over into Pakistan and hundreds of thousands died in the so called suicide bombings. The US Navy alone can completely annihilate Iran, yet they didn't really resort to sparking anything like that. Iran is fully 100% on the side of powers that be and everything the Iranian regime has done has paved the way for the interests of those sitting outside the region.

As for the Iraq-Iran war, your beloved Khomeini started it by continuously calling for a revolution in Iraq.

As I have had, everything and anything the crazy mullah regime in Iran has done has benefitted nobody in the region except certain 'extra-terresrial' powers.

Khamenai imbecile just does not know the concept of democracy.

All countries around are fine, while Syria is gone. And you are hapy and proud about it? Khameaists destroyed entire country, slaughtered and displaced over 12 million peole just to keep one inbred dictator on his failed throne.
