United Arab Emirates accuses Iran of missile-drone attacks
RNE Network.
The United Arab Emirates’ defence ministry said on Tuesday that its air defences were dealing with missile and drone attacks from Iran.
However, Iran’s joint military command said its armed forces had not carried out any missile or drone operations against the UAE in recent days.
A spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters also warned of a “crushing response” if any action was launched from the UAE against Iran.
It was the second consecutive day that the UAE reported being attacked, following four weeks of relative calm after the United States announced a ceasefire.
The UAE’s foreign ministry said in a statement that the attacks were a serious escalation and posed a direct threat to the state’s security, adding that the UAE reserved its “full and legitimate right” to respond.
