## Resource

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to one of the UAE’s most prominent businessmen, Mishal Kanoo, Chairman of the Kanoo Group. He discusses like the headlines of ‘The Dubai Dream is Over’ in the Western press and the motivation for this coverage against the city, the desire among the UAE’s leadership circles for Iran and other neighbours to prosper despite the war, why the Gulf States didn’t retaliate against Iranian strikes against the GCC, his response to Iran’s premise of attacking GCC states for hosting US military bases, Iran’s assertion of control over the Strait of Hormuz and how it affects shipping, the impact of the US-Israeli war on Iran on the real estate sector in Dubai, and much more.
