LIVE: Iran's Biggest Mistake Yet? Why UAE Is Bombing Iran | The Link

Why UAE and Iran are bombing each other: When the US and Israel bombed Iran on February 28, 2026, Iran fired back at the entire Gulf — but it hit one country harder than all the others combined: the United Arab Emirates. 2,265 missiles and drones. Dubai under fire. Fujairah's oil port in flames. A drone strike at the Barakah nuclear power plant. And now the UAE is hitting back inside Iran— including a secret strike on Lavan Island.

In this episode of The Link on Firstpost, Shubhangi Sharma breaks down the 50-year secret rivalry between the UAE and Iran that just blew wide open. From the disputed Gulf islands seized in 1971 (Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb) to the Abraham Accords, the IMEC corridor, the Iron Dome deployment in Abu Dhabi, the Netanyahu "secret visit," the OPEC exit, and the end of the UAE's "cautious de-escalation" doctrine.
