Iran denies attacks on UAE

The first statement from Iran regarding the attacks on the UAE has been released. Ibrahim Zulfiqari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said in a statement, "The Iranian Armed Forces have not carried out any missile or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations against the UAE in recent days, and if such an action had been taken, we would have announced it with certainty and clarity. Therefore, the report by the country's Ministry of Defense is categorically denied and holds no truth."

"Your country should not host the military forces and elements of the US and Israel"

Zulfiqari also called on the UAE administration, stating, "As an Islamic land, your country should not host the military forces and elements of the US and Israel, and should not betray the Islamic world. You should not fall into the traps of the Americans and Zionists; instead of fighting them, you should not conduct unfair media attacks, baseless accusations, and perception operations against the Muslim people of Iran."

"The UAE has turned into one of the main bases for the US and Zionist forces, which are enemies of the Islamic world"

Zulfiqari stated, "It must be expressed with regret that today the UAE has turned into one of the main bases for the US and Zionist forces, who are the enemies of the Islamic world and the primary culprits of insecurity in the region, and has become a host to a significant portion of these forces' military personnel and equipment. Problems cannot be solved through perception management, accusations, and victimhood narratives, and the international environment cannot be manipulated in this way."

"A harsh and regrettable response will be given"

Touching upon the attitude shown toward the UAE so far, Zulfiqari said, "If we have remained silent until today regarding your propaganda activities and the support you provide to the enemies of the Islamic Ummah, it is only to protect the safety and peace of our Muslim brothers living in that country. However, we warn you: If any action is carried out from UAE territory against Iranian islands, ports, or coasts, a harsh and regrettable response will be given."
