US Daily Reveals UAE Airstrikes Against Iran Amidst Regional Conflict
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal has revealed that the United Arab Emirates carried out dozens of airstrikes against Iran, in coordination with Tel Aviv and Washington, during the recent American-Zionist aggression against Iran.
The report indicates that this involvement shows the UAE played a deeper military role than previously disclosed. These UAE airstrikes commenced from the initial days of the conflict and continued until the day after the ceasefire last April. The targets of these strikes included the islands of Qeshm and Abu Musa in the Strait of Hormuz, Bandar Abbas, the Lavan oil refinery, and the Asaluyeh petrochemical facilities.
The Wall Street Journal added that these operations were conducted with intelligence cooperation from the United States and the Zionist regime. The UAE’s attacks against Iran had previously drawn criticism from Saudi Arabia, as Riyadh feared such aggressions could escalate the conflict and lead to retaliatory strikes from Iran. The President of the UAE also reportedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Saudi Crown Prince’s opposition to joining these incursions. Furthermore, the UAE had implemented economic measures against Iran, including closing entities affiliated with Tehran in Dubai and intensifying restrictions on the activities of Iranians.
Despite these actions, the UAE has recently signaled a preference for political solutions, reportedly concerned about ongoing threats to its vital facilities and energy sector.
