Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the United Arab Emirates on Thursday of playing an “active” role in the US-Israeli war against Iran.

Speaking during the BRICS summit in India, Araghchi said: “The UAE is an active partner in this aggression, there is no doubt about that.”

He added that it had become clear to Tehran that the UAE participated in attacks against Iran and “may even have acted directly” against the country.

Araghchi also referred to reports issued by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding an alleged secret meeting with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, which Abu Dhabi denied had taken place.

“The UAE was directly involved in the aggression against my country,” Araghchi said, adding that Abu Dhabi had failed to condemn the attacks when they began.
