ABU DHABI, Aug 18: The United Arab Emirates has suspended all trade, financial transactions, and other activities with Iran until further notice, a senior foreign ministry official confirmed early Wednesday.

Afra Al Hameli, Director of the Strategic Communications Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made the announcement but provided no additional details about the scope or duration of the suspension.

The move represents a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries and comes amid heightened regional instability. Further information about the reasons behind the decision and its potential impact on bilateral economic ties was not immediately available.
