UAE says it dismantled 'terrorist network' funded by Iran and Hezbollah - Reuters

The United Arab Emirates announced it dismantled a terrorist network it says was funded by Iran and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The operation represents a rare public security disclosure by the UAE, which typically keeps counterterrorism efforts confidential. The announcement underscores ongoing regional tensions over Iran's network of proxy forces and militant groups across the Middle East. The UAE, a U.S. ally that has normalized relations with Israel, has previously targeted Iranian-backed organizations operating within its borders. Details about the network's size, specific targets, or planned operations were not disclosed.
