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 follows reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu secretly visited the UAE during recent hostilities, a claim denied by Emirati officials but insisted upon by Israeli aides. Additionally, the Wall Street Journal reported that Mossad chief David Barnea visited the UAE twice to coordinate war efforts, and that the UAE allegedly conducted secret attacks on Iranian oil facilities at Lavan Island and Asaluyeh. Former Iranian officials, including Manouchehr Mottaki, supported these accusations, citing drone evidence. The tension is further fueled by reports of Israel delivering its Iron Dome system to the UAE. While the UAE maintains its relations with Israel are public under the Abraham Accords, Tehran views these developments as unforgivable hostility driven by U.S. support. These escalating verbal and alleged military confrontations highlight a significant deterioration in Tehran-Abu Dhabi relations amidst broader regional conflict dynamics involving the US and Israel.
