The Iranian military command denied involvement in the attacks on the UAE

Iran has not conducted missile or drone operations against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and condemns the country's confrontational moves. This was announced on May 5 by the official representative of the central headquarters of the country's military command "Khatam al-Anbiya" Ebrahim Zolfagari.

"The Iranian armed forces have not conducted any missile or drone operations against the UAE in recent days. <...> We warn that if any actions are taken from the territory of the UAE against Iranian islands and ports, we will respond with crushing regret," the Fars news agency quoted the text of the statement in its Telegram channel.

Zolfagari added that the Emirates have become one of the weak points of the Arab world and have deployed the main number of American military bases on their territory. According to him, the state is becoming a source of constant threat.

A day earlier, a fire broke out at an oil industrial facility (NGO) in Fujairah, UAE. According to the city authorities, the fire occurred as a result of a drone attack from Iran. The UAE Defense Ministry added that three missiles were intercepted over the country's airspace. Another shell flew into the sea.

The UAE government, in turn, strongly condemned the attacks by Iran on civilian targets in the country and reserved the right to respond to them.
