The United Arab Emirates is considering possible military action against Iran following a series of missile and drone strikes targeting sites inside the country.

Despite not being directly involved in the broader regional conflict, the UAE has reportedly endured around 800 strikes. Officials are now reassessing the country’s defense posture in light of the escalating threat, The Caspian Post reports via foreign media.

“The UAE is considering active defensive measures against Iran. Although they were not a party to the conflict, they still experienced 800 bombardments. In such circumstances, no country in the world would ignore the need to reevaluate its defense position,” a source said.
