UAE Says Iran Fired Missiles at Shipping - There Goes Tehran's 28 Billion Trade Lifeline
|
[RedState] Iran's regime fired two ballistic missiles toward shipping traffic in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday. The United Arab Emirates has had enough. Abu Dhabi responded by severing every trade, commercial, and financial transaction with the terror state, effective immediately.
Roughly $28 billion in annual commerce is now gone. The UAE was Iran's single largest source of imports, a lifeline the mullahs just torched with their own missiles.
UAE Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Afra Al Hameli made it official Wednesday. No end date. No conditions. Just a hard stop tied to Iran's escalating aggression.
"All trade, commercial exchanges, and financial transactions with Iran have been halted until further notice."
No exemptions. No timeline for resumption. Al Hameli also cited international law and the integrity of the global financial system, the kind of language that signals Abu Dhabi is done playing nice.
Neither missile hit land. The UAE said one went down inside its territorial waters and the other outside. Dubai residents first got a warning to find shelter, then an all-clear. Officials reported no injuries or damage.
The UAE Defense Ministry believes the missiles were targeting ships and warned that Emirati forces are at full readiness. Tehran would be wise to believe them.
Tehran, predictably, denied everything. Regime spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei called the accusation "baseless" and accused the UAE of violating "the principle of good-neighborly relations." Rich, coming from a government that has spent months firing missiles and attacking tankers. Iran has also refused to claim responsibility for recent strikes on Emirati oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
