Iran has denied any involvement in recent drone and missile attacks targeting the United Arab Emirates. According to Iranian state media citing senior military officials, Tehran had no plans to strike the UAE, and the attacks were not launched from Iranian territory. Officials emphasized that Iran played no role in the incident.

The denial comes at a time of heightened tension between Iran and the United States over the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically vital waterway for global trade. The United States has deployed additional military forces in the area to secure commercial shipping routes, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that it will not allow vessels linked to its adversaries to move freely through the strait.

The attacks on the UAE and Iran’s subsequent denial have added further complexity to the already volatile situation in the Middle East, where military posturing around the Strait of Hormuz continues to raise regional security concerns.
