UAE to unlock billions of dollars for Iran, sources say
The agreement includes an initial $3 billion transfer and is tied to Iran halting missile and drone attacks, sources said.
- The United Arab Emirates agreed to unlock billions for Iran to halt missile and drone attacks, with sources reporting a first tranche of $3 billion already released and total deals potentially reaching $20 billion.
- Iranian missile and drone strikes previously damaged the UAE's business-hub status and safety reputation, prompting this financial shift after the last direct attack on May 4 at the Fujairah port on the Gulf.
- Officials from the Revolutionary Guards visited Abu Dhabi last week to meet Sheikh Tahnoun, the UAE's national security adviser, accelerating talks to negotiate the transfer mechanism and rebuild bilateral ties.
- Tehran has approached at least two other Gulf Arab countries to make similar financial deals, signaling a tactical effort to leverage relief across the region to stabilize Iran's domestic economy.
- Vice President Vance stated on Friday that funds would not be released for deals with the U.S., while Dubai banks face regulatory hurdles under American sanctions complicating transfer execution.
