NOURNEWS - Some Western and Arab media outlets, including Reuters, reported today quoting an unnamed Iranian official, claiming that UAE National Security Adviser Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan would travel to Tehran soon.
Nournews has not yet received any reliable information about the imminent completion of this trip or its exact time.
Regardless of whether the news announced by the Western and Arab media is true or unreliable, there are significant considerations in the field of relations between the United Arab Emirates and the Islamic Republic of Iran that need to be addressed.
After the revelation and normalization of the UAE's relations with the Zionist regime, one of the most important ideals of the Islamic world, which is the sanctity of relations with the occupying regime in Jerusalem, was practically ignored by this country, and Abu Dhabi practically became the flagship of normalizing relations between some Arab rulers and Israel.
Abu Dhabi is now under intense pressure from the public opinion of the Islamic world regarding the desecration of the relationship with the child-killing Zionist regime, and this situation is not favorable for this country at all and it seeks to adjust it.
To overcome this situation, the UAE is trying to present itself as an actor who has relations with all parties, especially the Islamic Republic, and its relations with Tel Aviv are normal and similar to those with Iran.
It is now trying to design a double-edged sword by approaching Iran and Syria as the front-line countries of the Resistance Front and exploiting it through the media and free itself from the pressure of public opinion in the Islamic world.
This is while the inherent enmity and hostility of the Zionist regime with Iran is not a secret, and naturally the expansion of comprehensive relations with Israel cannot be combined with the continuation of friendly relations with Iran and support for the Islamic world idea in the liberation of Holy Quds.
If such measures are a cover for pursuing the main strategy of this country to develop security, intelligence and military relations with the Zionist regime, it is definitely not in line with the interests and strategic principles of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
More importantly; In addition to the principle of normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel, the active presence of Zionist officials in the country and the establishment of spy stations and Tel Aviv cyber operations in the region is a kind of contradiction in the behavior of the country in the development of regional relations.
Tzipi Livni's recent visit to Abu Dhabi, US-Israeli-Bahrain-UAE joint exercise in the Red Sea, recent UAE defense exhibition with the presence of Tel Aviv officials, and numerous news items about the Israeli Defense Minister's secret visit to Abu Dhabi, are clear examples of ambiguity in the UAE's foreign policy, especially in the face of Iran.
On this basis it seems; If the UAE is really seeking to establish appropriate relations with Iran, it must act to dispel the ambiguity in its dual behavior and take into account the political, security and ideological considerations sought by Iran in speech and action.
