Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Spokesman: Any hostile action from UAE soil will face a crushing, regretful respon

Tehran - BORNA - The full text of the statement is as follows:

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have conducted no missile or drone operations against the UAE in recent days. Had such an action taken place, we would have announced it with decisiveness and transparency. Therefore, the report by that country’s Ministry of Defense is absolutely denied and is devoid of any truth.

It is declared to the officials and statesmen of the UAE: your country, as an Islamic land, must not become a nest for Americans, Zionists, and their military forces and equipment, nor should it betray the Islamic world and Muslims. You must not fall into the trap set by Americans and Zionists. Instead of confronting the disbelievers and polytheists and refusing any cooperation with them, you have targeted the Muslim nation of Iran with cowardly media attacks, unjust accusations, and atmosphere-mongering.

Regrettably, it must be said that today the UAE has turned into one of the main bases for the Americans and Zionists—the primary enemies of the Islamic world and the main causes of regional insecurity—and has become a site for the deployment of a major part of their military forces and equipment.

One cannot solve problems or distort the international atmosphere through propaganda, accusations, and playing the victim.

If we have thus far exercised restraint in the face of your atmosphere-mongering and your assistance to the enemies of the Islamic Ummah and Iran, it has been solely for the sake of security and out of consideration for our Muslim brothers and sisters in that country.

We warn that if any action is taken from the soil of the UAE against Iranian islands, ports, or the shores of our country, we will deliver a crushing and regretful response.
