UAE suspends economic ties with Iran after Tehran allegedly fires missiles at its territory
Iran, on its part, has denied that it targetted the UAE using its missiles.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has suspended all economic ties with Iran following an alleged missile attack on its ships, according to the UAE's Foreign Ministry. This decision follows a period of calm in the UAE, which had not faced Iranian missile attacks since May. The UAE claims that the missiles were targeting maritime navigation and fell into the sea, while Iran denies launching any missiles towards the country.
The UAE's move comes as a response to ongoing regional escalations and a series of missile attacks on its tankers by Iran in recent weeks.
