UAE suspends all trade and commercial ties with Iran following ballistic missile attack

# United Arab Emirates, Iran’s second-largest commercial partner, has suspended all trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Tehran until further notice. This is after two ballistic missiles targeted the Gulf state. The UAE Defence Ministry says its air-defence systems detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran towards the country, with one falling into the sea and outside its territorial waters. Tehran has firmly denied launching the missiles, calling the accusations baseless and warning that such claims could damage regional diplomacy and efforts to build trust.
