Snippet:
The U.S. government's weighing of a financial lifeline for the United Arab Emirates posts bigger questions about what is in store for the booming Mideast economy post-war. The UAE has spent decades engineering one of the world's most resilient tourism economies, built on global connectivity and continuous infrastructure expansion. That model is now under acute stress due to the U.S.-Iran war and attacks Iran has launched targeting its infrastructure.
