Tehran, Iran – The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has formally rejected claims made by the United Arab Emirates regarding recent drone and missile strikes, attributing the alleged attacks to the US and its military presence in the region.
In a statement released by the Ministry, Iran condemned the “destructive actions of the rulers of Abu Dhabi,” in collaboration with the US and other hostile parties, as a continuation of a deliberate strategy to undermine its national security and regional stability. The statement emphasized that Iran’s armed forces had taken defensive measures in response to US aggression, rather than targeting the UAE.
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted the country’s commitment to adhering to the principles of the United Nations Charter and fundamental rules of international law, particularly in its relations with neighboring countries. It specifically called on Abu Dhabi to halt its cooperation with the US and the Zionist regime in their actions against Iran.
“The destructive actions of the rulers of Abu Dhabi in collusion with the warring parties against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the continuation of hosting their military bases and equipment, threaten regional peace and stability,” the statement read.
The UAE’s claims follow an alleged increase in drone and missile attacks in recent days, sparking regional tensions and raising concerns about potential military confrontations between Iran, the US, and other regional actors.
In response to these heightened tensions, the Iranian government has reaffirmed its commitment to maximum restraint, citing a responsible approach respectful of regional stability and collective interests. However, it has also made clear its readiness to defend its national security and interests using necessary and proportionate measures.
As the situation in the Gulf region continues to escalate, the US and UAE must now respond to Iran’s warning of “dangerous consequences” arising from their ongoing cooperation and actions. The unfolding regional crisis may ultimately have far-reaching implications for regional and global stability.
