The United Arab Emirates for decades advertised itself as a haven for business in the Middle East.

The United Arab Emirates restored power to a atomic reactor after a drone strike over the weekend damaged part of the facility, easing safety concerns over the Middle East’s biggest nuclear plant. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates for decades has advertised itself as a haven for international business in a Middle East awash in violent upheaval. Those waves have now crashed into this nation, testing its economic model like never before.

As military clashes centered on Iran continue across the Middle East, the impact of the conflict is spreading throughout the Gulf region.

Bloomberg reported the story as "UAE Restores Power to Drone-Hit Nuclear Plant, Watchdog Says." The Seattle Times reported the story as "The UAE's image as a Middle Eastern haven is tested by the Iran war."
