Israel is reportedly halting all defense exports to Qatar.

Israel is also halting all maintenance and support related to previous sales.

Israel has not openly sold any defense systems to Qatar, but has sold it equipment that was included in US delivered systems, including air defense and avionics.

*Update*

The missiles were from Iran, not the Houthi's in Yemen:

Will the UAE respond with more strikes or another strongly worded letter?

Interesting timing since Trump reportedly talked to the UAE president today about strengthening ties between the US and UAE.

So we give Israel equipment…and they flip it at a profit to their neighbors. Modern problems demand modern solutions.

They will petition the UN to create another strongly worded binding resolution.

It's been the first time in a couple of months that Iran has launched missiles at the UAE. Most likely because they are the only GCC that keeps petitioning us to finish the job unlike Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Early on in the war, when the UAE was getting attacked, a lot of the missiles that were fired at them included technology they provided the Islamic Republic. Essentially they provided the targeting systems that were used against them. I guess the irony did not sit well with them.

Translated from Arabic:

The Ministry of Defense announced that the assessments conducted showed that the two ballistic missiles detected approaching from Iran were targeting maritime navigation, and they fell into the sea.

The Ministry of Defense confirms that it is on high alert and readiness to deal with any threats, and to firmly confront everything that targets undermining the state's security or the security of navigation in the region, thereby ensuring the preservation of the state's sovereignty, security, and stability, and protecting its interests and national capabilities.

The Ministry also urges the esteemed public to obtain information from official sources and to avoid circulating rumors or inaccurate information.

I know this isn’t directly Iran related, but if you cannot protect or account for you nuclear program you shouldn’t have one. This is reckless.
