UAE Stands Firm Against Iran
Establishing true Middle East deterrence requires absolute strength.
For those following the regional tensions, the United Arab Emirates was heavily attacked first by Iranian-backed proxies, suffering fatal drone and missile strikes on Abu Dhabi in recent years.
It is completely reasonable and justified for them to fight back against this unprovoked aggression.
To complicate matters, Tehran is also reportedly furious that the UAE is shifting its energy policy and distancing itself from OPEC to maximize its massive 4 million barrels per day production capacity.
American Allies Fighting Back
We are finally seeing our regional partners refuse to be victims.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) accurately points out that “Iran only respects strength, and weakness invites conflict.”
The UAE has had to intercept well over 100 proxy drones and ballistic missiles launched by Iranian proxies over the last few years.
Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) echoes this reality, reminding us that when our allies are targeted by hostile regimes, they have every inherent right to launch crushing retaliatory strikes.
The days of appeasing Tehran’s shadow war are over.
A New Regional Balance
This pushback is exactly what America First foreign policy was designed to encourage.
President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) always understood that achieving lasting Middle East deterrence means empowering our partners to aggressively defend their own sovereignty.
We supply the advanced interceptors, but they must pull the trigger.
By standing up to Iranian economic and military bullying, the UAE is proving that the era of unpunished proxy warfare is ending.
Strategic patience changes the map, and lasting Middle East deterrence secures peace. ⚓ 🛡️ 🇺🇸 #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #Iran
