🇦🇪 🇮🇷 ⚡️ — NEW: UAE reports dismantling of Iran-linked ‘terror’ cell accused of plotting ‘systematic terrorist and sabotage acts’


The UAE’s State Security Service arrested 27 individuals linked to Iran’s Velayat-e Faqih doctrine, accusing them of establishing a secret organisation, transferring funds to foreign entities, and recruiting Emirati youth to serve foreign loyalties.

🔴 The group allegedly conducted recruitment and indoctrination operations, held meetings with “terrorist elements,” and aimed to undermine national unity and spread misleading ideas among youth.

🔴 The arrests come amid ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran, during which the UAE has faced multiple Iranian attacks targeting US military assets and civilian infrastructure.
