Iran signals 'strategic desperation,' as regime attacks it own economic lifeline in UAE
The Islamic Republic’s attacks on the United Arab Emirates, a key trading partner for Tehran, are a sign of “strategic desperation,” two experts on the region explained to The Jerusalem Post on Monday night.
In late March, the UAE’s defense ministry confirmed its air defenses engaged 357 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,815 drones, and sporadic attacks on the country have continued despite the current pause in the majority of regional hostilities.
While the UAE bore the vast brunt of attacks on Gulf nations, presumably as it is a member of the Abraham Accords, international relations expert Dr. Arman Mahmoudian, a research associate at the University of South Florida’s Center for Strategic & Diplomatic Studies, explained to the Post that the country is an essential financial hub for Tehran.
