🇺🇸🇦🇪⚔️🇮🇷 Trump administration tells UAE to seize Iran's Lavan island
Trump administration officials are encouraging the United Arab Emirates to get more heavily involved in the Iran war and seize one of Tehran’s Gulf islands, The Telegraph understands.
Some in Donald Trump’s circle have suggested the UAE should take Lavan Island, which was reportedly bombed in secret military strikes by the Emiratis in early April, a former senior Trump security official told The Telegraph.
“Go take ’em!” the official said. “It would be UAE boots on the ground instead of US.”
The encouragement comes amid disclosures about the UAE’s increasing engagement in the 11-week conflict and its growing ties with Israel.
Analysts say that the war and Iran’s heavy bombardment of the Gulf state are accelerating a dramatic realignment across the Middle East into rival geopolitical axes.
Iran's Lavan Island is 162 mi (263 km) northwest of the city of Dubai and very close to the Iranian mainland. Any Emirati attempts at seizing the island if they don't end up in failure, would put any garrison in a permanent state of siege and Iran will eventually recapture the island.
While the likelihood of an operation against Lavan is near zero, the UAE could try to seize Iran's Siri, Abu Musa, Farur, Greater and Lesser Tunb islands which are much closer to the UAE and once belonged the Trucial States, the predecessor state from which the UAE evolved until Iran seized them in 1971.

A deliberate car-ramming attack struck pedestrians in Modena, Italy's Via Emilia Centro earlier today. The driver then exited the vehicle and stabbed a person who attempted to stop him. Police arrested the suspect at the scene. Seven people are reported injured, four critically, including a woman who may lose both legs. The 30-year-old suspect was born and raised locally. Motive remains under investigation, terrorism has not been ruled out.
