  "summary": "The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has suspended all trade activities, commercial exchanges, and financial transactions with Iran following the detection of two ballistic missiles launched from Iran. This is the first such incident since a strike on the Fujairah port on May 4. Iran's foreign ministry rejected the UAE's statement, calling it \"baseless.\" The missile launch comes as the 60-day window for US-Iranian peace talks expired without a breakthrough, raising fears of renewed conflict in the region. The UAE has affirmed its readiness to deal with any threats and firmly confront anything that aims to destabilize the country's security.",
