UAE President Warns Enemies: 'We are no easy prey'

United Arab Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed has issued a rare public warning to the nation's "enemies," emphasizing that the UAE's prosperity should not be mistaken for weakness. His remarks come amid ongoing Iranian drone and missile strikes targeting Gulf Arab states and Israel, which are a response to prior Israeli-US forces' attacks on Iran.

These attacks have notably impacted the UAE's carefully cultivated image as a secure commercial center. While the conflict poses a potential risk to the flow of international business and wealthy individuals, there is a prevailing sentiment among investors and residents that the UAE's foundational strengths will facilitate its recovery. They anticipate that the country's strong infrastructure and effective governance will enable it to overcome these challenges and emerge even more resilient.
