BREAKING: IRAN BOMBS SAUDI ARABIA AND GULF w/ Fmr U.S. Intel Stefano Ritondale & Azi
"You took the UAE that was attacked more than any other country to now not even being attacked while Saudi is being attacked. Well, they still had, they always had the alliance with Israel, they still had the military capabilities, everything's still the same. They always had the same diplomatic pressure on the US. The only factor that would have changed from before to now would be something that is happening behind the scenes."
Despite conducting the most military operations against Iran during the 40-day war, the UAE has been conspicuously absent from Iran's current target list while Saudi Arabia was struck. Analysts suggest this may indicate behind-the-scenes negotiations, with reports of UAE officials visiting Iran and potentially offering concessions including billions in financial transfers.
