Iran warns of fallout from Israel’s presence in region after Netanyahu’s UAE visit
Iran warned the UAE of highly dangerous consequences after the leaders discussed regional security and tensions with Tehran, while Saudi Arabia denied attending.
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed in Abu Dhabi, prompting Iran's Foreign Ministry to warn the UAE of "highly dangerous consequences."
The leaders focused on regional coordination and intelligence cooperation against the Houthi threat while addressing tensions with Iran as central issues.
Tehran condemned the visit, describing Netanyahu's presence as an "extremely dangerous and alarming" development during a sensitive period in the region.
Saudi Arabia rejected reports on Tuesday that its representatives attended the weekend talks, contradicting claims made Monday by Israeli journalist Dror Balazada.
A Saudi source dismissed the rumors in comments to Arab News, emphasizing there was "no truth" to reports that a Saudi representative was present at the meeting.
