Iran Condemns UAE as 'Active Partner in War' Amid Reports of Secret Israeli Ties
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 coincides with reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly visited the UAE during recent hostilities, a claim confirmed by Israeli officials but denied by Emirati authorities. Additionally, the Wall Street Journal reported that Mossad chief David Barnea visited the UAE twice to coordinate war efforts, and that the UAE covertly attacked Iranian oil facilities on Lavan Island and Asaluyeh port. Former Iranian officials, including Manouchehr Mottaki, supported these allegations, citing drone evidence. The tension is further fueled by reports of Israel delivering Iron Dome systems to the UAE. While the UAE maintains its relations with Israel are public under the Abraham Accords, Iranian leadership views these developments as unforgivable hostility, marking a significant deterioration in Tehran-Abu Dhabi relations amidst broader regional conflict involving the US and Israel.
