Iran warns UAE not to allow US military attacks from UAE territory
AFP Tehran, 21st. The Iranian military warned the United Arab Emirates today not to allow attacks from its territory against two disputed islands in the Persian Gulf near the strategic strait of Hormuz - the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise it will launch a strong strike against the UAE.
The Iranian military's operational command unit "Khatam Al-Anbiya" released a statement through the Tasnim news agency, saying: "We warn the United Arab Emirates that if there are any more aggressions against Iran's islands Abu Musa and Greater Tunb in the Persian Gulf from its territory, the powerful armed forces of Iran will severely strike Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE."
Abu Musa and Greater Tunb islands are located near the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE claims sovereignty over these two islands, but they are actually controlled by Iran, and have long been a source of dispute between the two countries.
After the war between the United States and Iran on February 28, Tehran accused Persian Gulf countries of allowing US military attacks from their territories, and has repeatedly launched missile and drone attacks on so-called American targets in these countries.
Persian Gulf countries have repeatedly denied the accusations and stated that even before the war, they would not allow their territories and airspace to be used for attacks on Iran.
