Iran has firmly denied recent accusations by the UAE that it launched missile or drone strikes against Emirati territory, calling the claims untrue, while issuing a stark warning of a “crushing and regret-inducing response” if any attack originates from Emirati soil. A spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters told state media that Iranian forces have not conducted offensive operations against the UAE, urging Abu Dhabi to avoid aligning with external powers.
