While Israeli President Herzog made history by being the first Israeli President to visit the UAE, the Iranian backed Houthis fired another missile at the UAE, which the Arab country said it intercepted.
Iran is scared that a real detente between Israel and the UAE is forming and this pact will enable Israel to launch an attack on Iran from the UAE. The Houthi attack is a message, both to the UAE and to Israel.
Th Iranian leadership wants the region to know that despite the growing alliance between Israel and the Gulf States, it still calls the shots. The firing of the missile shows just how vulnerable the UAE is as it stands on the frontlines of the wests war with Iran.
It will be the UAE that will be attacked first if Israel tries to launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear program. The missile attack is a reminder that the UAE will absorb the most if Israel attacks.
