The UAE announced an indefinite trade embargo on Iran after its Ministry of Defence reported detecting two ballistic missiles claimed to have been launched from Iranian territory.

The UAE embargo is a necessary response to Iranian aggression, confirming Tehran's destabilizing role after the memorandum's lapse.
