Allegations of attacks on the United Arab Emirates for the second consecutive day have been strongly denied by Iran, which has rejected all accusations. Meanwhile, the UAE has confirmed damage and injuries resulting from missile and drone strikes, further escalating regional tensions.
The UAE Ministry of Defense claimed that the country faced missile and drone attacks for the second day in a row, once again heightening tensions in the region. However, Iran has firmly rejected all such allegations, stating that it has no involvement in the attacks.
In a statement issued by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), it was said that no military operation has been carried out against the United Arab Emirates in recent days, and that if Iran had conducted any such action, it would openly acknowledge it. The statement further described the allegations against Iran as baseless and intended to create misunderstandings in the region.
According to Emirati authorities, at least three people were injured in an attack on Monday, while a drone strike on a key oil facility in Fujairah caused a fire that partially damaged the installation. Officials also said that details of the damage from Tuesday’s attack are still being assessed and investigations are ongoing.
A report by an international media outlet stated that these incidents come at a time when tensions are already rising in and around the Strait of Hormuz. It noted that growing friction between Iran and Western countries has further complicated maritime and aerial security in the region.
It was also reported that pressure in the Strait of Hormuz has increased following Iranian responses to U.S. and Israeli strikes, leading to a rise in global oil and gas prices. Energy experts say the situation is also affecting the global economy.
Meanwhile, reports have emerged of new U.S. naval restrictions on Iran, while some accounts suggest limited skirmishes between the two countries. However, U.S. officials maintain that although tensions exist in the region, the ceasefire remains intact.
Analysts say the Gulf region is once again facing uncertainty, where accusations and counter-accusations continue, while global powers are attempting to bring the situation under control.
