UAE Launches Muslim Shia Crackdown Under Cover of “Iran-Linked Terror” Claims

Despite labeling the arrests of 27 individuals as part of an “Iran-linked terror threat”, UAE authorities have not brought terrorism charges — raising concerns that, in the context of the Iran war, the crackdown on dissent is targeting Shia communities under the guise of security.

The United Arab Emirates says it has dismantled an Iran-linked “terrorist organisation” targeting the Muslim Shia community of the UAE. But the evidence made public so far tells a different story — one that raises serious questions about whether these arrests are part of a widening crackdown on dissent against the US-Israeli backed war against Iran

While presenting itself as a victim on the international stage, the United Arab Emirates silently entered the war against Iran on the side of Washington and Tel Aviv.

Iran War Blowback: Iraqi Resistance Targets U.S. Forces in Biggest Escalation Since 2003

The U.S.–Israel war on Iran has reignited a long-simmering front in Iraq, where resistance groups like Kataeb Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq are launching coordinated drone and missile attacks on American targets, including Ain al-Assad airbase and facilities inside Baghdad’s Green Zone. What Washington once declared finished in 2003 is rapidly unraveling into a new phase of war — one defined by blowback, as battle-hardened Iraqi factions degrade U.S. defenses and push American forces out of Iraq.

Failing to Defeat Hezbollah, Israel & US Pressure Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa to Join War

 Openly declaring its intent to illegally occupy southern Lebanon, Israel finds itself in a costly ground battle with Hezbollah, from which there are indications Syria may soon be roped in. This is born from the understanding that in order to successfully weaken the Lebanese resistance, the Israeli military must penetrate the Bekaa Valley area and that’s why Israel wants Syria’s military to invade Lebanon’s border and attack Hezbollah, aiming to go after what is labelled critical infrastructure belonging to the Lebanese group. The Trump administration has directly put pressure on Syrian leader Ahmed al-Shara’a to do just that but growing resistance inside of Syria against Israel is pushing back.

US May Sieze Three Iranian Islands, Including Kharg, Targeting Critical Oil Routes & Military in Hormuz

Great strategic importance has been attached to the islands, with Iran deciding to develop their military capabilities there since at least 2008. In particular, Abu Musa, the largest of the three islands, is home to a broad range of Iranian military capabilities. Former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, credited as one of the architects of Tehran’s “Mosaic Defence” strategy, even labelled Abu Musa Island as “Iran’s beating heart” in the Persian Gulf at the beginning of 2019.

While a significant amount of attention has been placed upon the Iranian island of Kharg, as a likely target for a US ground invasion, there are three other islands that may be in Washington’s scope. Although this has flown under the media's radar, the signs have been clear. On March 13, US President Donald Trump officially announced the bombing
