The UAE has warned that it may freeze Iranian assets.
This was caused by Iran's missile and drone attacks.
UAE officials have warned that they could freeze Iranian assets within the country's territory in response to missile and drone attacks. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing informed sources.
According to the information, Emirati officials have secretly warned Tehran about potential financial measures. Among the measures being discussed are freezing shell company accounts and conducting extensive inspections of currency exchange offices.
One of the main potential targets of the sanctions could be financial structures linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Such measures could deal a serious blow to channels related to financing Iran's military programs.
Experts emphasize that if these restrictions are implemented, Iran's access to foreign currency and global trade systems could be severely limited. This is because the UAE has long served as a key financial center for circumventing Western sanctions.
In particular, it has been noted that Tehran has been distributing revenues from oil sales in global markets through Emirati infrastructure, and has also been conducting financial operations outside the official banking system through local currency exchange offices.
