Nobody is going to want to work or live there now knowing Iranian missiles and drones can rain down on you at any moment (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863855&forum_id=2...id.#49866743) |

Iran has proven itself to have very weak anti-ship capabilities. If they can't reliably attack ships standing right in front of them in the Strait, they seemingly have no hope of ever blocking the blockade made up mostly of ships far out at sea. |

So actually all they have to do is threaten it at this point (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863855&forum_id=2...id.#49867025) |

Date: May 5th, 2026 2:28 PM Author: German pumo Yes, they can easily close Hormuz. But having the US be able to block their crude oil exports is not sustainable for them long-term, so they need some way to break the US blockade.

Trump killed their leader, bombed a girls’ school (twice) for no reason, and sunk a naval ship with a torpedo that wasnt even in theater. They can’t sustain this super long term but I don’t think they’re anywhere close to being ready to give up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863855&forum_id=2...id.#49867167) |

The UAE is well aware that it lives in a thin and extremely fragile glass house, and that the absence of security represents a deadly poison for it.
This is a statement that appeared in the Iranian Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guard.
Iran threatens what it calls a glass house, but it knows that it breathes through some of its windows.
The irony is that the relationship between Iran and the UAE is one of the strangest relationships in the region: a security threat from one side, and deep economic dependence from the other.
Iran needs the UAE for two main reasons: Facilitating the flow of funds from its exports, and providing commercial/logistical cover for companies that cannot operate directly under Iran's name under sanctions.
The numbers say a lot: In the year ending March 2024, Iran imported $20.8 billion from the UAE and exported $6.6 billion to it. And in the following year ending March 2025: imports from the UAE $21.9 billion, and exports to it $7.2 billion.
In other words: The UAE is not just a trading neighbor for Tehran; it is one of the lungs of the Iranian economy.
Dubai and Jebel Ali: Import gateway. Free zones: Re-export platform. Exchange houses and intermediary companies: Financial lung. Some front companies: Cover for circumventing sanctions. The expatriate community and businessmen: A historical network for trade. And assets, companies, and ports: Mutual leverage.
Therefore, if the UAE freezes assets or shuts down exchange networks linked to Iran, it is not just striking a trade relationship; it is striking the mechanism for converting Iranian oil into liquidity. |
