The United Arab Emirates has agreed to unlock billions of dollars for Iran, four sources said, in a tactical shift after weeks of Iranian attacks on the wealthy Gulf Arab state during the U.S.-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.

Two regional sources told Reuters the UAE had agreed to release a total of $10 billion, more than $3 billion of which had already been delivered.
Two other sources with knowledge of the arrangement put the total funds involved at $20 billion, adding that the move had been agreed in return for a halt to Iranian attacks on the UAE.
One of the sources with knowledge of the arrangement also said a first tranche of $3 billion had already been made available.

One of the sources with knowledge of the arrangement said the move offered a way to help solve the conflict between the U.S. and Iran without either side crossing its red line: Iran can claim it extracted compensation for war damages, Washington can insist it paid nothing, and Abu Dhabi obtains its own security and Dubai's hub status, while framing the move as an investment in rebuilding regional trust.
The other source with knowledge of the arrangement said that in return for the disbursement, Iran would halt missile and drone attacks on the UAE, and there would be a rebuilding of bilateral ties, including intelligence sharing and economic cooperation.
The source added that Iran had approached at least two other Gulf Arab countries to make a similar arrangement.

So what do the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Trump think that the IRGC will be doing with those billions?
So much for making Iran suffer economically.

From the Times of Israel:
The UAE’s foreign ministry categorically denied the report, including the claim it had transferred some funds already, saying claims it has “released, transferred, or moved” frozen funds to Iran were “untrue and not based on any facts or reliable information.”

The long lost dollar has come back to the fold
With silver, you can turn your dreams to gold, oh🎶

Old man depression, you are through, you done us wrong, oh

And when we see the landlord, we can look that guy right in the eye.🎶
Oh, we’re in the money
Come on, my honey

Let’s lend it, spend it, send it rolling around.🎶
Weasel words. Earlier the UAE issued a non-denial denial.
This has been denied by the UAE.
The UAE foreign ministry issued a statement early on Saturday categorically denying reports of the transfer “including allegations concerning $3 billion”.
The UAE statement “affirmed that these allegations are entirely false and unfounded, stressing that no frozen Iranian funds have been released, transferred or facilitated through the UAE.”
The UAE statement did not provide any further specifics.
Earlier, when asked by Reuters to comment on the transfer, a UAE official said the country was trying to ease tension and foster peace.
“The UAE’s foreign policy is guided by promoting de-escalation and reducing tensions across the region, while advancing lasting peace and stability,” the official said. “The UAE supports efforts, including those undertaken by the United States, to protect the peoples of the region from the repercussions of conflict.”

It’s worth noting that neither the UAE or Qatar have been attacked by Iran lately.
But both nations have dealings with Israel too $$$ talks.

Your picture still on a milk box?😂🤡
Shouldn’t that be a period and not a semi-colon
after REV in your tagline?
That’s another one of those things that feels clever to say but isn’t always true.
Is there a big IF tacked on?
Show us where a UAE official actually stated that UAE had released cash to Iran.
