The UAE committed a massive mistake joining the Abraham Accords, which at its core was an attempt to build an Arab-Israeli alliance against Iran. That core has become unmistakable now as a result of Israel and the US's war on Iran.

This was a mistake by the UAE because it meant that the Emirates attached itself to Israel's enmity with Iran, which runs deeper than the Emirates' tensions with Tehran, even though the Emirates is right next to Iran, while Israel is roughly 1,000 km from Iran.

But Abu Dhabi is now trapped, and to some extent, the Iran war appears to have been aimed at forcing GCC states to move closer to Israel to seek protection from Iran.

So in the midst of the war, Netanyahu secretly traveled to Abu Dhabi and offered the Emirates Iron Dome protection. This is what Israel considers a major breakthrough in their relationship.

In reality, it is the manifestation of the trap that the Abraham Accords have become for the Emirates.


UAE is an artificial country. It's sold it's soul to the devil.

Geographically and demographically it is doomed if it tries to take on Iran or other countries like Saudi Arabia.
 
IRGC attack an Indian Flagged Ship while attempting to transit through the strait of Hormuz.
The crew of the ship was rescued by Omani authorities.

Again, India has it completely wrong, just like many others!

You cannot claim "freedom of navigation" in Iranian territorial waters! It is madness that Iran tolerates this bogus narrative.

Can an aeroplane fly through another nation's airspace without clearance? Does that overflight not come at a real and tangible cost (paid through taxes and other mechanisms)?

The Strait of Hormuz is territorial waters that Iran and Oman can administer and charge for as they see fit.

Innocent passage is applicable, not freedom of navigation.

I know you and others may not like this but technically the Strait maybe passing through Iranian and the Omanian waters but there is no international law which grants Iran the rights to own the Strait. Maybe there could be a law in future but the Strait is not the same as the Panama or the Suez Canals. Even an anti-war great analyst like Chas Freeman says what Iran is doing is illegal but he, like me and others, also acknowledge that Iran was attacked in an illegal war and that should not be discounted either.
Just sayin!

My interpretation has always been based on available international law doctrine. Granted, I may have interpreted it incorrectly, but feel free to clarify the above for me if you feel that is the case.

Yes, thats true about territorial waters but free passage of goods through tight spots is usually allowed unless some Treaty or international law is applied. If one were to accept any country to restrict the flow of traffic then the Strait of Malacca and the Bab el Mandab also come under some countries' jurisdictions. And probably more such passages on the globe. Just because an illegal war has been launched on Iran doesn't have to become a total Law of the Jungle. Suez and Panama Canals are man made. The flow through the Turkish waters (Bosporus) are under international laws.

We go down a slippery slope if we totally disregard all international laws just because some do. Even President Trump is trying to put a veneer of laws by trying to seek a UNSC Resolution against Iran.
 
Care to elaborate, please?
Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov announced at a press conference today that Russian President Putin will soon visit China, and the specific date will be announced in the near future. Since the presidents of Iran, the United States, and Russia have all visited Beijing, China must know their bottom line on the outcome of the war. The war can certainly come to an end.
 
So this really shows you why Iran has had a hard on by hitting uae harder than most other GCC states even though they got hit pretty hard as well but Iran was relentlessly focusing on UAE so embarrassing it’s so embarrassing I won’t even tag certain people who might get upset 😂 seriously no shame at all and Bibi openly stating he was thrown the red carpet for a war that has cost UAE probably close to 200 billion by now in economic losses shows you these guys are really cucks if highest order that one was for you @Kyussis

Hope so. I would like to see It. Good luck. It is the gordian knot. Wish China luck with It.
