Why not just connect Stripe to the Dubai bank account? As per my understanding, customers just see the Stripe portal, they dont know if its going to the USA or Dubai. So, why create the extra layer of USA when it can be done only from UAE?

What is the purpose of putting FZCO instead of yourself as the beneficiary for a US LLC? IRS will find out the ultimate beneficiary anyway, when you will receive EIN and you will have to disclose the information. And especially with the new law (orporate Transparency Act), which started in January 2024, the point is completely lost, even if you don't get an EIN.
