Iran Supreme Leader Criticizes UAE-Israel Deal, Calls it a 'Betrayal' to the Islamic World 

On September 1, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated in a speech that the UAE has "betrayed the Islamic World and the Palestinians" by signing a deal with Israel on fixing ties with the nation. This economically benefiting deal would be the first-ever arrangement between an Arab Country and Israel in over 20 years and was mainly formed due to their common fear over Iran.
