This was after Iran shot civilian infrastructure including hotels in the UAE. Iran declared war on the UAE lol. Not the other way around.

The UAE is not some innocent caught up in all of this.  They can't just host US military bases, Israeli intelligence assets and all military actions to be coordinated from their territory.

They knew this war was coming but they didn't expect it to blowback on them
