It's pretty convoluted logic to blame Israel for Iran attacking the UAE.

It's pretty convoluted logic to blame Israel for Iran attacking the UAE.
The problems the UAE has are not based on Iran attacking the UAE but Iran closing the Strait - which is a direct and foreseeable result of Israel attacking Iran.
The US and Israel attacking Iran. Also with the Saudis heavily lobbying Trump to do it as well.
The Saudi crown prince wants Trump to continue the war still.

Finding myself in the awkward position of defending Saudi Arabia here, but this is not at all a consensus of the political analysis community.
Relying on statements by the Trump administration as proof of this makes it even more spurious.
That said, MBS has done worse and it's not impossible, but alignment with UAE is faltering more and more so it's possible even if they once favored that action by the US they no longer hold the same view.
I am not claiming Saudis want what's best for the region, only that, even if they wanted war with Iran, they likely now no longer do, or at least would like the conflict to wrap up due to the heavy costs its inflicted on the region.
UAE will see the the whole region burn if it means MBZ can keep his seat.
Careful, you'll break its world view.
