In past weeks, the UAE shut down an Iranian hospital and five Iranian schools.
This comes as Iran's targeted the UAE with more than 2,000 drones and missiles in the war.
Aya Batrawi, NPR News, Dubai.
Right.
So Iran has already made clear that if its power plants are hit, it will target power plants in Israel and across the Gulf.
And we already saw this week Iran can do that.
It hit a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait after electricity outages in Tehran.
And Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps listed American tech companies that they would target in the region if there are any more assassinations happening.
Many, like Oracle and Google, actually have their headquarters right here in Dubai, where I am.
But Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson did say after Trump's speech that Iran is not interested in just a ceasefire with another war being launched on them again.
And in response to Trump calling Iran a state sponsor of terror, Iran's foreign ministry said it's actually Israel with the backing of the U.S.
that's being prosecuted now in international courts for war crimes in Gaza.
Israel denies charges of genocide.
But Iran says it is forced to continue confronting this war until it ends.
And we've seen that they still have the capability to do that.
Right.
This war was launched by Israel and the U.S.
mostly without consulting with Gulf Arab partners who do host thousands of U.S.
troops that have been targeted.
We know from our sources in the region that some Gulf Arab states had short advance notice of the war in order to sort of just prepare their air defenses, but others did not.
