Saudi Arabia's UAE 'mudslinging' threatens new Gulf crisis

Tensions between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have escalated following a brief conflict in Yemen, with Saudi media launching an unprecedented campaign of accusations against its Gulf neighbor. Saudi outlets have accused the United Arab Emirates of supporting secessionist movements and destabilizing the region, claims that have been met with silence from Abu Dhabi. The rift has exposed deep-seated disagreements over regional influence, with Saudi commentators alleging betrayal and the undermining of strategic partnerships. Despite the heated rhetoric, analysts suggest that while a complete break in relations is unlikely, Saudi Arabia may consider taking significant economic measures. Diplomatic maneuvering continues, as both countries seek new alliances and partnerships, further complicating the Gulf's political landscape.
