Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya military headquarters on Tuesday denied carrying out any missile or drone attacks against the United Arab Emirates in recent days, warning of a “crushing response” if Abu Dhabi takes action against Iran.

In a statement carried by Tasnim News Agency, the command rejected Emirati claims of incoming attacks as “false and baseless.” It said any Iranian strike would be publicly announced “with clarity and firmness.”

The statement described the UAE as a major hub for US and Israeli forces and equipment, and the country has become a base for their military presence. It warned that Iran would respond decisively if the UAE moves against Iranian islands, ports, or coastlines.

The UAE Defense Ministry said earlier that it intercepted three missile and drone attacks “originating from Iran,” injuring three injuries.
