File under: Hezbollah

#1 Makes sense. If Iran was planning aggression against either the UAE or Israel, or both, they would activate Hezbollah and the Gaza Shiites to cut up rough. Knowing about this quickly would allow the UAE to activate its forces to be ready for an Iranian attack.

And the UAE would also likely tip off other powers interested in the situation. Just knowing about a sneak attack can often thwart it.
