Tehran (Monitoring Desk): Iran has warned the United Arab Emirates against deepening ties with Israel, saying that Tehran wants to maintain friendly relations with Abu Dhabi, but Iran’s patience also has limits.
According to Qatari media reports, military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mohsen Rezaei, said that Iran is fully aware of the growing relations between the UAE and Israel, and Abu Dhabi should avoid becoming part of Israeli plans and conspiracies.
Former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Mohsen Rezaei, said that the United States is pursuing a policy of frightening regional countries about Iran, while Tehran seeks friendly and brotherly relations with all countries in the region.
He further stated that the Strait of Hormuz remains open for trade activities, but not for those seeking to spread instability or carry out military intervention.
Mohsen Rezaei also questioned the US military presence in the region, saying that in the past the United States had deployed naval fleets against the Soviet Union, but now it is unclear against whom it is demonstrating power.
He rejected allegations regarding Iran’s nuclear program, stating that Iran has never announced any intention to build an atomic bomb, and that no country other than the United States and Israel claims Iran wants nuclear weapons.
According to reports, during the recent tensions between Iran and Israel, the UAE also came under the impact of Iranian attacks, while some reports mentioned possible retaliatory measures.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had also accused the UAE of involvement in anti-Iran activities, saying that despite attacks on Iran, Abu Dhabi had not even issued a condemnation statement and therefore should reconsider its policy.
On the other hand, a statement from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that during the Iran war he secretly visited the UAE and met with the Emirati president, although the UAE later denied the report.
