A Wall Street Journal report on Saturday revealed the UAE secretly conducted dozens of airstrikes against Iran during the recent regional conflict.
Working closely with U.S. and Israeli intelligence, the Emirates targeted energy infrastructure, petrochemical complexes, and strategic islands in the Strait of Hormuz. These covert operations, which reportedly continued even after an April ceasefire, mark a massive shift away from the UAE’s traditional public stance of neutrality. Experts suggest the aggressive moves were fueled by growing competition with Saudi Arabia and a desire to permanently dismantle Iranian influence.
Tehran is expected to formally respond to these revelations as diplomatic pressure builds on Abu Dhabi to explain its direct military intervention.
