Intelligence information The arms race explodes in the Gulf as Emirati Saudi disagreements escalate

Intelligence information revealed on Thursday an escalating arms race between the UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after the dispute between the two sides enters a more dangerous phase where political differences are being surpassed by a strategic conflict over military alliances, influence, and the future structure of Gulf security, particularly in the post-war on Iran phase.

According to what the “Dark Box” website published, citing intelligence information, “the simultaneous military deployment—Pakistani forces inside Saudi Arabia versus Egyptian forces inside the UAE—shows each party’s tendency to build separate security axes instead of maintaining a unified Gulf security system, amid fears of regional escalation involving Iran on one side and Israel and the US on the other.”
The website affirms in its report that “the region is no longer dealing with the Saudi-Emirati dispute as merely temporary differences between partners.” According to intelligence assessments, it is moving towards an increasing division into competing military camps, driven by divergent regional visions and different security calculations, with declining levels of trust between the two most powerful Gulf states.”
The report explains the difference in paths between the two sides, indicating that Saudi Arabia deals with the post-Iran war environment through strategic frameworks focusing on deterrence, stability, and long-term security partnerships to protect economic transformation and internal stability. Meanwhile, according to the report, the UAE tends to expand its integration into security and military alliances linked to the US and Israel while expanding intervention networks regionally.
It noted that the recent Saudi-Pakistani military deployment is among the most prominent indicators of this shift, as the Reuters agency revealed Pakistan’s deployment of thousands of soldiers, advanced fighter jets, drones, and Chinese-made HQ-9 air defense systems inside Saudi Arabia, under the joint strategic defense agreement between the two countries.
