Tensions in West Asia are rising as the UAE reports fresh missile and drone threats, allegedly from Iran, even as Tehran denies involvement. So why does the UAE keep emerging as a target? This explainer breaks down the key reasons. The UAE’s close ties with the United States, including hosting military assets, place it firmly in Iran’s line of sight. But the biggest factor is oil. By building pipelines that bypass the Strait of Hormuz, the UAE has reduced Iran’s leverage over global energy routes. Add to that its growing ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords, and the UAE finds itself at the centre of a high-stakes power struggle.
