The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has expressed significant displeasure with Pakistan's perceived support for Iran during the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. High-level discussions between Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif revealed that UAE leadership is concerned about Islamabad's alignment with Tehran, particularly as the Emirates has faced direct fallout from the conflict. UAE officials highlighted that while Pakistan has engaged with Saudi Arabia, it has not shown similar support for Abu Dhabi, which has suffered considerable damage during the war. The diplomatic strain could have serious economic consequences for Pakistan, which relies heavily on Gulf support. The UAE may consider demanding the return of nearly $2 billion in financial assistance, a move that could exacerbate Pakistan's economic challenges. Additionally, the situation raises concerns for the approximately 1.8 million overseas Pakistanis living in the UAE, who could face uncertainties if tensions escalate further.
