Iran Rejects UAE Missile Attack Claim as Baseless

Tehran has officially rejected the United Arab Emirates' claim regarding missile fire, calling it baseless. The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, expressed regret over the accusation and urged all regional parties to avoid making unfounded claims against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In a statement, Baghaei highlighted the existing complexities caused by what he described as the continued mischief of the United States and the Zionist regime against regional peace and security. He also pointed to the record of numerous false-flag operations in the region, which he said underscored the need for caution in attributing blame.

The spokesman emphasized that such accusations harm ongoing efforts to prevent the escalation of insecurity in the region and to strengthen confidence between regional states. He called for a collective approach to maintain stability and avoid actions that could lead to further tensions.

The UAE had earlier claimed that it was targeted by missile fire, but Iran has categorically denied any involvement. The accusation comes amid heightened regional tensions, with Iran frequently accusing the US and Israel of engaging in destabilizing activities.

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), the Iranian foreign ministry's response underscores its position that regional security should be based on mutual trust and cooperation, not on unfounded allegations. The statement also serves as a reminder of the delicate balance in the region, where misinformation can easily escalate into conflict.

Baghaei's remarks reflect Iran's broader stance of promoting dialogue and de-escalation, while firmly rejecting any attempts to implicate it in actions it denies. The call for regional parties to avoid unfounded accusations is seen as an attempt to prevent further deterioration of the security environment.
