The United Arab Emirates has ordered the closure of an Iranian state-linked hospital in Dubai, AFP reports quoting three employees at the facility, as ties between the two neighbours deteriorate amid Tehran’s aerial campaign against Gulf states.
“The government asked all of us to leave,” an employee at the hospital told AFP, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
“The hospital management told us it was because of Iran’s attacks on the UAE,” he added.
The Iranian hospital, which employs more than 700 people, is run by the Iranian Red Crescent Society. It is one of the oldest healthcare facilities in the UAE.
