UAE Minister Highlights Civilian Targeting Amid Conflict

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been subjected to over 2,800 missile and drone attacks in the first 40 days of the conflict involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran, with more than 90% of the targets being civilian infrastructure. According to BlockBeats, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation, Reem Al Hashimy, stated on Sunday that Iran is attempting to undermine the UAE's model of prosperity and tolerance. When questioned about U.S. President Donald Trump's assessment of a regime change in Iran, Al Hashimy expressed skepticism regarding any substantial changes in Iran's leadership. "I know there have been personnel changes. There are different figures in place," she noted, adding that the impact on the nature of the Revolutionary Guards remains uncertain and currently appears bleak. Regarding concerns over Trump's threats, Al Hashimy emphasized that the UAE views "maximum pressure" as essential for progress, while cautioning against attacks on civilians.
