Iran is signaling potential escalation and even a ground invasion of the Emirates ahead of the US midterm elections, according to Tzvi Yehezkeli, Arab affairs commentator for i24NEWS. Yehezkeli stated that Tehran views the period before the US elections as an opportunity to undermine any victory narrative President Donald Trump might seek to present.
"In Iran, they boast and brag about all sorts of plans they have for how they will carry out this escalation," Yehezkeli said. He explained the Iranian calculation: "They expect a response from me, I have an interest in responding before the midterm elections to destroy Trump's victory picture that he might want to present."
Yehezkeli also highlighted another threat from Iran: a potential ground invasion of the Emirates. "There is another threat from Iran, to carry out a ground invasion of the Emirates. They are saying this because if Trump fulfills his promise to attack before the midterm elections, they can do anything," he stated.
Furthermore, Yehezkeli linked Iran to Houthi activities against Saudi Arabia, asserting that "the Houthis do not move a single missile without an explicit Iranian order. Currently, Iran is striking Saudi Arabia." He sharply criticized Saudi Arabia's response to the attacks, calling it "amazing to see the Saudi weakness. What a fake country this is, that not only fails to defend itself, and certainly not to attack, but also cannot recover from all these attacks." Yehezkeli attributed responsibility for the situation to the Saudi Crown Prince, stating, "This is a failure from the beginning of the war until now, entirely of Mohammed bin Salman."
