The United Arab Emirates announced Friday it had dismantled a terrorist network financed and operated by Hezbollah and its Iranian patron, involving money laundering, terrorist financing and threats to national security, according to official state media.
The announcement follows a similar revelation Wednesday in Kuwait, where authorities said they had foiled an attack planned by a Hezbollah-affiliated group targeting "vital installations" across the country.
Ten Kuwaiti nationals were arrested, accused of coordinating with foreign entities and collecting coordinates of targeted sites, constituting, in the Interior Ministry's words, "a direct threat to national security."
Hezbollah "categorically denied" any involvement in Kuwait.
Two Gulf states, two Hezbollah networks, two days apart. The pattern is impossible to ignore.
These revelations emerge in the context of a regional war triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iranian military and energy infrastructure, to which Tehran has responded by targeting American bases and civilian infrastructure across Gulf Arab states.
