Iran brands UAE-Israel deal a ‘stab in the back’ to Muslims

Trump Emirates Israel

Iran has strongly condemned a historic deal establishing full diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, calling it a stab in the back to all Muslims.

A statement from the country’s foreign ministry, reported by state TV on Friday, called the normalising of ties between the two countries a dangerous, “shameful” measure and warned the UAE against Israel interfering in the “political equations” of the Persian Gulf region.
