The UAE has abruptly halted all trade, financial, and commercial dealings with Iran, as it deems regional tension to have jeopardized regional harmony, according to the Abu Dhabi government. This move follows the UAE Ministry of Defense's revelation on Tuesday night that its defense systems had detected two ballistic missiles fired by Iran.
The first missile fell outside UAE's maritime territory, whereas the second one landed within. The UAE's Director of Strategic Communications, Afra al-Hameli, affirmed that the UAE discredits any rumors about its economic ties with Iran. She reiterated the UAE's dedication to dialogue, collaboration, and regional unity, deeming these as essential elements for achieving peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.
Al-Hameli clarified that the decision to terminate trade and financial exchanges with Iran was prompted by the regional tension and its influence on security and stability, confirming the decision's validity until further notice. She underscored the UAE's commitment to upholding the integrity and stability of the global financial system, in line with international law and the highest global norms. The announcement of the UAE's actions against Iran was initially reported by the Egypt Independent.
