UAE Minister’s Brilliant Response to Iran’s Attacks
Fox News anchor Bret Baier did an excellent interview with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of State at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Lana Nusseibeh, in which she made the case for doing everything that could be done to stop Iran.
“Iran’s attack on Gulf allies the United States and Jordan is an attack on the entire world and the global economy,” she said. Attempting to strangle the Strait of Hormuz poses a threat to the global economy, Nusseibeh said.

“In reality, Iran is trying to cause a heart attack in the global economy,” she said. “We should not allow Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, to set the global price of food and gas.” That’s why President Donald Trump has called for a coalition. Not because we couldn’t deal with it, but because it is a global concern and others have much greater interests in the strait than the United States.

The report highlights that most of the Iranian retaliations have been directed against the UAE, even more so than against Israel.
UAE Minister: We have now seen Iran make an irresponsible decision instead of negotiating with the United States… they have instead chosen to fire over 2,200 missiles and drones at the UAE, a peacemaker in the region.
The question is why. The answer is because we are… pic.twitter.com/JsGUWNfawd

The answer is that we are an idea that threatens Iran. Because we are open, we are progressive, we are tolerant, we are a dynamic economy
Nusseibeh said Iran had fired more than 2,200 missiles and drones at the UAE, rather than negotiate due to “well-understood concerns” about its nuclear program, its ballistic missile program and its support for non-state terrorist actors.
Iran apparently thought this would divide the UAE and cause it to encourage the United States to stop. But the opposite is true: “This is a truly ruthless regime, and President Trump is right to hold it accountable today,” she said.
Iran annoyed them even more, as did Saudi Arabia.
🚨 HOLY SHIT! The UAE’s Minister of State just SHOCKED fake news that Gulf countries were “stepping back” in their relations with President Trump and the United States over Iran.
“The United States is a CLEAR partner for us… we intend to DOUBLE THE BACK.” 🔥
They lied again!pic.twitter.com/BRUTTdLpwC

“The UAE has fought alongside the United States in more than six coalitions in our history. We have shared values, we have shared history with the United States. We have interoperability with the United States. They are an obvious partner for us in regional security, and we intend to redouble our efforts. Today we face a threat to the international community as a whole that must be stopped by any means possible.”
She said that while they still favored a diplomatic option, Iran needed to understand that it was not acceptable to behave like a rogue actor.
Iran is not going to like this, and it blows up any narrative that the UAE is breaking away from the United States.
Editor’s note: For decades, past presidents have done nothing but talk. Now, Donald Trump eliminates the Iranian threat once and for all.
