MBS Warns UAE: Stay Out of Sudan and Yemen, Citing Regional Security Concerns

• Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) sent a warning letter to UAE National Security Advisor Tahnoon bin Zayed.
• The letter expressed serious objections to the UAE's role in Sudan, particularly its support for the Rapid Support Force (RSF).
• Saudi Arabia asserted Yemen as its sphere of influence and criticized UAE-backed separatist groups, even bombing a weapons shipment.
• The letter, though unsigned, was assessed by Washington to be from MBS and was also intended to convey a message to America.
• Saudi Arabia denied asking the US to impose sanctions on the UAE and stated that providing military aid to the Southern Transitional Council without approval was a "red line."
