Philipp Wagner
In an interview with Atlas Broadcasting Philipp Wagner talks about how the regional conflict reshaped the UAE's security priorities, energy strategy, and diplomatic role amid persistent geopolitical uncertainty.
As part of his visiting fellowship at the European Council on Foreign Relations, he examines the growing energy and security risks facing the United Arab Emirates amid regional tensions. Wagner discusses the implications of the drone attack near the Barakah nuclear power plant, the vulnerability of critical energy infrastructure, and the wider consequences of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. He argues that the crisis highlights the need for the UAE to reassess the resilience and diversification of its energy system.
