Abu Dhabi's Worst Secret Just Came Out Of A US Ambassador's Mouth - On Camera

Abu Dhabi wanted victim status and war privileges at the same time - then the receipts started falling out. Right, so the US ambassador to Israel has just said the quiet part out loud, and Abu Dhabi’s entire victim routine over the war on Iran has gone straight through the shredder. Well, its not the first time his Zionist praises have dropped him in the proverbial, but it has exposed an uncomfortable alliance the UAE would have very much preferred to keep quiet. Mike Huckabee there, on camera, confirmed that Israel sent Iron Dome batteries and Israeli personnel into the United Arab Emirates to help operate them during the war. Not rumour. Not leak. Not some anonymous Telegram account with a flag emoji and a grudge. The serving US ambassador, naming the equipment and the people, in public. And that single confirmation does exactly what the UAE has spent months trying to avoid. It takes the Emirates out of the role it had written for itself - poor wounded bystander, terribly shocked that Iran noticed all the war infrastructure lying around - and puts it where the reporting says it belongs: protected partner inside the US-Israeli war environment around Iran. The Iron Dome did not arrive in Abu Dhabi as a decorative centrepiece for a defence expo did it? It arrived because there were things in the UAE that needed defending, and separate reporting now says those things sat inside a coordinated military campaign against Iran, which is exactly what Iran had been saying for weeks before the Western press finally wandered over and found the obvious.
