The United Arab Emirates has suspended all trade, business, and financial dealings with Iran, effective immediately and until further notice. This decision was announced by the UAE Foreign Ministry amid growing tensions in the region.

The move comes as tensions between the US and Iran continue to escalate. US President Donald Trump has stated that there are no talks or conversations underway or scheduled with Iran. This contradicts a statement made by Trump's envoy, Jared Kushner, who said that the US and Iran were having "very positive and active conversations".

The UAE's decision to suspend dealings with Iran is the latest development in the ongoing crisis. The situation remains volatile, with the US maintaining a naval blockade and Iran continuing to assert its position.
