Iran and UAE ties sour, and other major developments in the Middle East
Iran and the UAE have experienced a deterioration in relations, with Iran rejecting the UAE's accusations of firing ballistic missiles that landed in the Persian Gulf. Tehran's parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, visited Iraq for a three-day visit, meeting with Iranian-backed political leaders. In response to France expelling Iranian diplomats, France retaliated by expelling two Iranian diplomats in retaliation.
The souring of UAE-Iran ties comes amid concerns of increased tension in the Middle East, with no new talks between Iran and the United States currently in progress.
