Possible scenario
Attribution Without War
40% Chance
UAE investigators publicly point to Iranian state or IRGC-linked involvement, but Abu Dhabi limits its response to evidence releases, arrests, aviation security measures, and coordination with Washington. This is the most likely path because the UAE has strong incentives to deter Iran while avoiding a direct regional war that would threaten Dubai and Abu Dhabi commerce.
