we do know that the UAE is on VERY friendly terms with Iran. They are so friendly with Iran that they have helped us surround Iran with allowing us to use their ports and air bases, last time I checked we have troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, looks like Iran is between a rock and a hard place.

We thought the Saudis were our ally too. Remember what happened when we needed their bases to attack Iraq?

I highly doubt it.
