Following the attacks on Iran by Israel and America, Iran has launched more than 1600 drones and 300 ballistic missiles on the UAE. Despite heavy economic and infrastructure losses, the UAE has not retaliated and has adopted a policy of restraint. Let us know why?
Why UAE Not Retaliation IRAN: Tension has increased rapidly in the Gulf region after Israel-America attacks on Iran. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has suffered the most loss in this conflict. Even Iran fired drones and missiles at UAE several times, causing huge damage to its infrastructure, despite this, what is the compulsion that UAE has not yet retaliated against Iran’s attacks.
Huge expenditure on stopping Iran’s drone-missile
While major buildings in the UAE have been damaged by Iranian drones and missiles, the UAE had to use expensive missile interceptor systems to stop them. The cost of each of these interceptors is in millions of dollars. However, even after this the UAE has not launched any direct retaliatory attack against Iran.
How many drone-missiles did Iran fire at UAE?
According to reports, since the war began on February 28, Iran has carried out a large number of attacks targeting UAE military and civilian targets. These include more than 1600 drone attacks, more than 300 ballistic missiles and 15 cruise missile attacks. To stop these attacks, UAE had to use hundreds of interceptor missiles, due to which it had to suffer a loss of billions of dollars. Despite this, some Iranian drones and missiles fell on their targets, causing considerable damage.
Economic and infrastructure losses to UAE due to Iranian attacks
Iran’s attacks have not only affected security but also the UAE’s economy. Flights had to be stopped for some time at Dubai International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world. Due to this, UAE’s major airline Emirates Airlines suffered a loss of about $ 100 million (Rs 920 crore) every day. Apart from this, due to slow down of shipping activities at Jebel Ali port, there is an economic loss of about 500 million dollars every day. So far six people have died in these attacks, which are said to include Nepali and Bangladeshi citizens.
Why is UAE avoiding retaliatory attack against Iran?
The UAE feels that if it goes directly into war, the conflict may drag on and it will suffer the most losses. In such a situation, UAE also wants to avoid putting its economy at too much risk. Let us tell you that the economy of UAE is dependent on tourism and trade (export). If the UAE takes military action against Iran and due to this the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for a long time, it will have a direct impact on its trade and energy supplies. This is why the UAE is currently avoiding a direct war with Iran, giving priority to the safety of its economy and citizens.
