Iran Warns United Arab Emirates Against Deepening Ties With Israel

Iran has issued a strong warning to the United Arab Emirates against strengthening ties with Israel, saying its "patience has limits." Analyst Daniel Block says the statement reflects a broader regional power struggle, with Gulf states increasingly moving closer to Israel in recent years due to concerns over Iran. Despite past attacks and tensions, Tehran says it has not closed the door on relations with the UAE and wants Gulf nations to align with Iran rather than Israel in the ongoing regional rivalry.
