Iran’s military denies launching any missile or drone attacks against the United Arab Emirates in recent days, rejecting accusations made by UAE authorities. In a statement attributed to Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central command, Iran says it did not conduct any missile or drone operation targeting the UAE during that period. The statement adds that if such an action had been taken, Iran would have announced it “firmly and clearly,” implying that Iran’s leadership would publicly confirm any operations it carried out. Iran’s military also characterizes the UAE’s account—linked to a reported claim by the UAE Ministry of Defense—as “categorically denied” and “completely unfounded.”
The dispute centers on whether drones and missiles were launched from or directed by Iran toward the UAE. While the UAE accuses Iran of carrying out barrages, Iran’s armed forces state there is no basis for those claims and deny involvement. The two sides thus present opposing accounts, with no independent information from the outlets provided in these reports to substantiate either claim.
