UAE Restricts U.S. Ability to Launch Retaliatory Airstrikes Against Iran Proxies
(Politico) Lara Seligman - Some Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates, are increasingly restricting the U.S. from using military facilities on their soil to launch retaliatory airstrikes on Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria, according to a U.S. official. The restrictions reflect Arab calculations on how supportive they can be to the U.S. without angering Iran. The UAE is home to Al Dhafra Air Base, which hosts dozens of U.S. aircraft involved in operations across the region.
