DUBAI: A senior UAE official has denied that the country was involved in a strike on a desalination plant in Iran, Jerusalem Post has reported.
“The UAE will never place the Iranian people in the same basket as the Iranian regime. The Iranian people are the real victims of that regime and the ones who suffer the most from its policies,” Ali Al-Nuaimi, chairman of the UAE’s National Defense Committee, stated.
“As neighbors, we recognize this reality, and we care about their well-being.”
On Sunday, Emirati presidential adviser Anwar Gargash said any announcements regarding UAE maneuvers would be communicated through official channels.
الإمارات في حالة دفاع عن النفس في مواجهة العدوان الإيراني الذي استهدف أراضيها وسكانها وبنيتها المدنية. وأي إجراءات دفاعية ستتخذها الدولة ستكون علنية وواضحة، ولن تعتمد على تسريبات صحافية أو روايات مجهولة المصدر والمقصد.
