The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has decided to stop all trade with Iran. This decision comes immediately after the UAE accused Iran of firing ballistic missiles toward its territory.
A ballistic missile is a high-powered weapon that travels through space before dropping down onto a target. The UAE says these attacks are a major threat and that they cannot keep doing business with a country attacking them.
This move is a big deal for the global economy. For a long time, Dubai has been a major hub where many businesses moved goods in and out of Iran. By cutting these ties, the UAE is joining a push led by the United States to isolate Iran and pressure its government.
Financial experts say this "embargo"—which is just a fancy word for a total ban on trade—will make it much harder for Iran to get the goods and money it needs. The rivalry between the two nations has now reached a new, tense level.
The UAE government says the trade ban will stay in place until further notice. For now, all ships and businesses that deal with Iran must stop their work immediately.
