Iran's foreign minister threatened the UAE and asserted that Tehran was aware of Netanyahu's alleged visit to Abu Dhabi. The threat came following an announcement by the Israeli prime minister's office of a secret meeting with the UAE's head of state.

Iran's foreign minister threatened the UAE and affirmed Tehran's prior knowledge of Netanyahu's alleged visit to Abu Dhabi, in a sharp escalation of Iran's rhetoric. The UAE denied the visit took place, but Iran considered the alleged meeting a violation of regional constants and part of a normalization process it rejects.
Iran's direct threats to the UAE could affect security and economic stability in the Gulf, particularly given the region's dependence on maritime navigation and foreign investments. The escalation of Iranian rhetoric reflects growing tensions that could impact energy prices and trade relations between Gulf states and Western countries.
