According to a report from the source covering Gulf affairs, the United Arab Emirates is furious with the Trump administration and was the only Gulf state to call on the US to attack Iran last night, urging Washington to disregard mediating countries. The report adds to a growing pattern of Gulf frustration with US policy toward Iran, which The Zioneer covered earlier Sunday: a report on Gulf states' frustration and a Wall Street Journal story citing a senior Gulf official pressing for ground operations and control of the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE's reported call for an immediate US strike marks a sharpening of the Gulf's stance, amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported in early July, the UAE had reportedly threatened its own military action against Iran within 24 hours, though that claim was not independently confirmed. The current report, from a single source, remains unverified by official Emirati or US channels.
