New administration's punitive decision could lead Israel into bombing Iran's weapons-making facilities.
US President Joe Biden has halted the sale of F-35 stealth jets to the UAE, even though they were promised as part of the Abraham Accords.
The new administration has raised concerns the UAE might use these jets against the rebel Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis have no air force and only rudimentary air defenses. The UAE has a decently-sized air force made up of 77 F-16s and 63 Mirage 2000s.
The UAE operates with Saudi Arabian air assets against the Houthi insurgency in Yemen. Saudi Arabia has 42 F-15s , 74 light attack F-5s and 44 Tornado fighters.

You’re not wrong. Our allies cannot count on our country to follow through.
Oh to be a fly on the wall when they try to give Joe his daily briefings , LOL
Indeed, schizophrenia is an evil mental disease, the most destructive for all societies, and these evil fools cultivate it world wide.
1. UAE long time friend and allies of the USA.
2. UAE a solid allies against terror.
3. UAE needs sophisticated aircraft to deter Iran aggression
4. UAE is pro USA and anti Iran.
The real problem is the UAE is anti Iran with good cause.
Analysis: Joe Biden is pro Iran. We have a problem.
Sounds like Biden is helping Iran for sure. Doesn’t make any sense. Why is he helping Iran???
The man is a complete fool.
Watch Taiwan. Its getting close over there.
What’s the over/under on when he start a war ?
The way he went back on most of his campaign promises in the first couple of weeks I am guessing 2 months.
Fort Worth ..... next on the choppin block.
It makes me ill that all the good the Trump administration did in the Middle East is quickly being destroyed.
Now imagine how loud the socialist press would be if Trump did this.
Oh yeah we have examples. The Paris accords for example.
They were not silent at all were they.
And this wasnt even anything involving tangible deliverables.
JobKillerJoe hard at it today...
How on earth do these people in DC look at themselves in the mirror? Romney, Sasse and the fake Republicans are the worst of the worst.
This is a great move. You don’t need F-35s to thrash Iran. All you need is a decent platform and experience trainers. And UAE has a lot of money being the gateway into the Middle East.
Now go get you some Dassault Rafales and save a ton of cash.
I had told friends we would be at war within a year. From the way things are speedily changing, you are most likely correct.
With the stolen election, I fear we've entered a new conundrum where the USA is a mischief maker and an untrustworthy policy partner. This won't end well I fear. Allies become enemies and enemies become allies, Iran, China, and North Korea.
And we'll blame it all on a guy who was a little too old to rule as the new US dictator. Lord have mercy. As I tell my closer friends. I'm an old person. I probably won't live to see the results of this mistake, and if I do I probably won't know the difference.
And there goes some more jobs
Shouldn’t be selling to Muslims anyway.
