The United Arab Emirates is facing a new wave of tension as warnings from Iran and a series of drone incidents push the Gulf into uneasy territory. Officials fear the country's strategic ports and its close ties with the United States could place it directly in the line of fire.
Iran has warned that ports, docks and what it described as 'American hideouts' inside the UAE could be targeted if conflict with Washington deepens. Iranian messaging also urged residents to evacuate areas near those locations, raising alarm among civilians and businesses.
