WorldUAE trade embargo could cut off Iran’s key economic escape route

The UAE has imposed an indefinite halt to trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran, accusing Iranian forces of firing two ballistic missiles at its territory. Iran rejected the allegation as baseless and called the reported attack a “false flag operation” by Israel and the United States. Analysts say the embargo could severely affect Iran because it relies heavily on the UAE for critical imports and financial-market access.
