Al-Dhafra Air Base, September 1

Jared Kushner and US officials visited a major air base in the UAE on Tuesday, as Iran’s supreme leader called the UAE’s recognition of Israel “treason that will not last for long.” It was the first-ever direct commercial passenger flight between the two countries after they established ties.

Kushner and US National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien met Emirati Maj Gen Falah al-Qahtani, a top defense official. O’Brien said, “We have stood together to fight extremism in all of its forms.”

Kusher left a message, “May the relationship with the US continue to grow and together.”

In Iran, Ali Khamenei said, “The UAE committed treachery against either the Islamic world and regional countries.” — Agencies

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
