Iran Accuses UAE of Active War Partnership Amid Reports of Secret Israeli Visits
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has labeled the United Arab Emirates an 'active partner in war' against Iran, accusing Abu Dhabi of allowing its territory to be used for attacks and colluding with Israel. This harsh rhetoric is supported by claims from former officials that Emirati drones participated in strikes on Iranian soil. Tensions have escalated following reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mossad Chief David Barnea secretly visited the UAE during recent conflicts to coordinate military efforts. While the UAE denied these secret meetings, stating relations with Israel remain within the public Abraham Accords framework, Israeli officials insisted the visits occurred and were historic. Additionally, media reports allege covert UAE attacks on Iranian oil infrastructure, including Lavan Island and Asaluyeh port, and the delivery of Israel's Iron Dome system to Abu Dhabi. These developments indicate a significant deterioration in Tehran-Abu Dhabi relations, driven by perceived security cooperation between the UAE and Israel against the Islamic Republic.
