Iran warns UAE against deepening ties with Israel
Tehran has not “closed the door to friendship in dealing with the United Arab Emirates, but they should know that Iran’s patience has limits”, the ISNA news agency quoted Mohsen Rezaei, former IRGC commander and secretary of Tehran’s Expediency Council, as saying.
“We are aware that there are relations and exchanges between the UAE and Israel; the UAE should not become entangled in Israel’s plots and schemes,” Rezaei said.
The UAE was the target of some of Tehran’s most intense attacks during the Israel-US war on Iran, and recent reports suggest the UAE may have carried out retaliatory strikes of its own.
