Desk: UAE’s role in the Iran war has been bigger than ever before. The UAE carried out airstrikes against Iran since the beginning of the war and this action continued till the next day of the ceasefire in April. According to the report of Wall Street Journal, UAE carried out dozens of airstrikes on Iran. This shows that the UAE’s involvement in the US and Israel-led campaign was much greater than previously known.
Till now it was believed that America and Israel played the biggest role in military action against Iran. But new information has revealed that UAE also directly participated in this campaign. According to the report, UAE fighter planes targeted Iranian targets several times. This action continued for some time from the beginning of the war till the ceasefire was implemented.
During the war, Iran has launched more than 2800 drones and missiles on UAE. Which is highest in Gulf countries. Experts believe that UAE’s retaliatory action is a sign of its changing foreign and security policy. Earlier the attitude of Gulf countries was generally more cautious, but now UAE seems ready to take more active and strict steps to protect its strategic interests.
According to the report, America and Israel provided intelligence in these attacks. The targets were several Iranian strategic and energy-related targets, including Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Abu Musa islands, the oil refinery on Lawan Island and the Asaluyeh Petrochemical Complex.
However, UAE has not officially made the complete details of these air strikes public. He has definitely told how many attacks Iran has carried out on him. The UAE believes that it needs to take direct action to maintain the balance of power in the region and ensure its security. This also indicates that in the coming times, UAE wants to play a more influential role in the politics and security affairs of the Middle East.
