UAE President’s Advisor Reveals Motives for Targeting the Nuclear Plant and Hints at the Perpetrator

The UAE revealed on Monday the behind-the-scenes of the recent attack on its largest nuclear energy plant.

This comes amid controversy over the executing party after the UAE Ministry of Defense disclosed it was launched from Saudi Arabia.

The UAE President’s Advisor for Political Affairs, Anwar Gargash, renewed his indirect accusation of Saudi Arabia for being behind the attack.

Gargash indicated in a tweet on his official social media page that the aim of the recent attack was to “paralyze the UAE’s arm” and undermine its vision, success, and message, which he said inspires the region’s peoples with security, stability, development, and prosperity.

Gargash’s tweet was seen as an indirect reference to Saudi Arabia, which is engaged in a fierce race with his country to lead the scene in the region, particularly in the economic sphere.

This is the first time since the war on Iran began last February that the UAE has blamed a country other than Iran for attacks, after consistently accusing Tehran of attacks against it.

The UAE possesses a long coastline parallel to the Iranian coast, separated only by a few miles. However, according to the UAE Ministry of Defense, the recent attack came from the western border, which connects the UAE with Saudi Arabia.

The new attack targeted the Barakah nuclear plant in the city of Al Dhafra.
