Introduction The UAE and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which comprises the Gulf Arab States, have gained the opportunity to stop Iran’s Ballistic Missile and Rocket Capabilities because Iran is immune to matters that relate to international opinion and weapon suppliers’ sensitivities (Naheem, 2017, 268) Background There has been a great emphasis on the asymmetry in the procurement of defense and spending in the region. Most of the countries within the Arab States in the Gulf regions are the highest purchasers of firearms. They have the most potent forces, which are mostly prepared with modern equipment. There has been increasing conflict between Iran and the GCC, which has reached a heightened military dimension. Iran is prospering because of uranium mining, which is giving it the ability to produce nuclear weapons. On the other hand, the GCC states also purchase more advanced and conventional weapons in larger amounts. Iran is becoming a threat to most of the Gulf Arab States. With cooperation with other states, UAE should work to ensure that they are addressing this safety threat. Iran is a country that started to sponsor the Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist groups in the 20 th century (Naheem 2017, 271). It has applied a lot of military force to the GCC economic targets. Iran has been a country that has established various capabilities in the use of ballistic missiles and rockets. It has continually targeted innocent people and significant economic infrastructure. It also has broader access to weapons and air forces to make sure they are striking the neighboring states. Countering Iran remains to be a big issue. Therefore, as the UAE states, we must take the responsibility and apply various strategies to support other GCC states and the USA in fighting Iran’s Ballistic Missile and Rocket Capabilities (Naheem 2017, 269) It is an important issue to the UAE’s national security because it will significantly help them make informed decisions by identifying the proper strategies. The next concern is discussing a comprehensive approach which will be expressed through various options. The objectives of the policy are to strengthen the national security and the general GCC states. Option One: Developing a Joint Air Defense System Before starting on any strategy and option for countering Iran’s Ballistic Missile and Rocket Capabilities, the UAE should first strengthen its national security, by proposing a joint air defense system. It is of no importance to directly engage with other GCC states while the home country is still suffering from weak patrol services on the borders (Bahgat 2016, 90). Basing that Iran targets people and significant infrastructures of the nations, having strong air forces to attack the neighboring states, the UAE can still be affected. It is essential to start the strategies from the home country and cooperate with the GCC states to make sure that they effectively counter Iran. The Ministry of Internals should seek to increase the number of forces in the country and the national recruitment days to increase military power availability within the country. PROS:  1. Improves national security and allows the UAE to engage with other GCC states effectively.  2. It helps in providing immediate response when Iran tries to invade the territories without their consent. The UAE is one of the GCC memb
