The warning emphasized that the ban also applies to Iranian citizens holding valid UAE residence visas. In this context, it was reported that these individuals would not be allowed to enter Dubai International Airport or transit from there.
IRANIAN CITIZENS ABROAD ARE ALSO INCLUDED

THEY ARE PREPARING TO JOIN THE WAR
On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates stated that it is ready to join the allied coalition to open the Strait of Hormuz with military force. Iran's missile attacks have created a strategic rupture in Gulf countries that have maintained their neutrality until now. Countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, which have established a joint military front against the Tehran regime, are now preparing to continue from where the U.S. left off, signaling that they could withdraw from the region without opening the Strait of Hormuz.
