UAE explores freezing Iranian assets after attacks - WSJ

Mar 6, 2026, 00:08 GMT+0

The United Arab Emirates is exploring freezing Iranian assets as part of potential measures to punish Tehran following recent attacks across the region, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The discussions come as Iran's Arab neighbours assess how to respond to escalating Iranian strikes that have disrupted infrastructure and heightened economic risks across the region.

Officials have not publicly confirmed any decision, and it remains unclear how extensive any asset freeze could be.
