UAE authorities emphasized their zero-tolerance policy towards any threats to national security or external interference.

Abu Dhabi, March 20 (ANI/WAM): In a significant security operation, the United Arab Emirates State Security Apparatus (SSA) has successfully dismantled a Hezbollah and Iran-backed terrorist network that was operating within the country under a fictitious commercial entity. The individuals involved have been arrested.

The SSA revealed that the network was working under a pre-planned strategy coordinated with external parties linked to Hezbollah and Iran. Their operations violated economic and legal norms, aiming to launder money, finance terrorism, and compromise national security.
