UAE downgrades diplomatic status of Iranian diplomats
The UAE on Monday downgraded Iran’s diplomatic representation and cut the number of envoys allowed on its soil, soon after two Gulf allies cut ties with the Islamic republic. The UAE’s foreign ministry said the decision was taken on the backdrop of Iran’s “continuous interference” in the Gulf and Arab affairs, and added that Tehran’s meddling had reached an “unprecedented” level. The statement, carried by state-run news agency WAM, said that UAE’s ambassador to Tehran Saif al-Zi’abi had been recalled following the decision. (Al Arabiya)
