The United Arab Emirates has accused Iran of launching two missiles toward its territory, according to reports from Iranian state media. However, Iran has rejected these allegations as "unfounded". Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei cautioned regional states against making "unfounded accusations" and advised vigilance against "false-flag operations".

The UAE's air defense forces detected the two ballistic missiles launched from Iran on Tuesday, with only one landing in its territorial waters. The statement did not provide details on casualties, damages, or countermeasures taken. Separately, Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani claimed on Monday that Iran had launched drone attacks on his office and the residence of the head of the Kurdish intelligence agency. Tehran denied these accusations, suggesting the incident might have been a "false flag" operation.
