Iran and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have seen a deterioration in their relations, raising concerns of increased tension in the Middle East. The dispute arose when Iran denied accusations by the UAE that it had fired two ballistic missiles landing in the Persian Gulf. Tehran's parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, traveled to neighboring Iraq for a three-day visit.
The UAE suspended trade with Iran in response to the incident, citing regional escalations that undermine peace and security. This follows a week where the UAE accused Iran of launching drones at two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Tensions in the region remain high, with no imminent talks between Iran and the United States.
