Iran signals limits of restraint toward UAE and Kuwait

Mohammad Mokhber, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, has issued a warning to Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, saying that Tehran’s restraint toward the two countries will not be indefinite and accusing them of providing their territory for use by Iran’s adversaries.

According to Caliber.Az, Mokhber made the statement in a post on the social media platform X.

ایران سالها به چشم دوست و برادر به آنها نگاه کرد ولی آنها با پیش فروش استقلال خود، حتی خاک و خانه هایشان را در اختیار دشمنان فلسطین و ایران قرار دادند.
پاسخ جمهوری اسلامی به سنگرهای استیجاری سنتکام در جنگ اخیر تمام عیار نبود؛ اما قطعا این خویشتنداری همیشگی نیست.#کویت#امارات

“Iran has for years viewed them as friends and brothers, but they, having preemptively sold their independence, have even provided land and homes to the enemies of Palestine and Iran. The Islamic Republic’s response to CENTCOM’s rented strongholds in the recent full-scale war was not complete; but certainly, such restraint will not be eternal,” Mokhber said.
