Iran denies it had a pre-planned programme to attack oil facilities at Fujairah port in the United Arab Emirates, according to Iranian state-linked reporting. An Iranian military official says there is no intention or premeditation behind the incident involving oil facilities at Fujairah. The official frames the event as being linked to wider tensions in the Strait of Hormuz rather than an Iran-directed operation. Iran attributes responsibility to US actions in the waterway, describing US military conduct as “adventurism” and suggesting it is aimed at creating conditions for what Iran calls “illegal ship transit.” The Iranian position, as presented in the reports, argues that Washington should be held accountable for the circumstances surrounding shipping and security in the Strait of Hormuz. The outlets report that Iran’s denial directly contradicts any suggestion that it planned to target UAE infrastructure, including at the port of Fujairah. No additional claims about the nature or details of the incident are provided in the excerpts beyond Iran’s explanation and blame directed at the US.
