Iran FM Accuses UAE of Active Partnership in War Against Iran at BRICS Summit

During the BRICS foreign ministers' meeting in New Delhi, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi strongly accused the United Arab Emirates of being an 'active partner in war' against Iran. He alleged that the UAE allowed its territory to be used for launching attacks and labeled its collusion with Israel as unforgivable. Araghchi also called for serious reforms to the United Nations structure to ensure fair representation and condemned unilateral sanctions as weapons against human rights. These remarks coincide with reports from Israeli officials confirming a secret visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the UAE during recent hostilities, aimed at strengthening bilateral ties. While the UAE denied engaging in secret arrangements, citing public relations under the Abraham Accords, Israeli sources insisted on the visit's occurrence. Additionally, media reports suggest covert military cooperation, including Mossad visits and alleged Emirati attacks on Iranian oil facilities. The escalating rhetoric from Tehran, supported by statements from former Iranian officials, highlights deepening tensions between Iran and the UAE amidst broader regional conflicts and expanding security cooperation between Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv.
