The United Arab Emirates has reportedly approached the United States for financial support as the Iran war continues with no clear end. Officials are said to have discussed emergency options, including access to US dollar funding through a possible currency swap arrangement.
The move reflects concern over the growing economic impact of the conflict, including market volatility, rising oil prices and pressure on regional trade.
While the UAE has not faced major damage so far, authorities appear to be preparing for a prolonged crisis as uncertainty grows and diplomatic efforts to end the war remain stalled.
