The UAE has rejected reports about Al Minhad Air Base being targeted by missiles. This comes as tensions between US and Iran have escalated.
On Monday, tensions between the US and Iran escalated as the two sides exchanged military strikes. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) firmly denied reports that its Al Minhad Air Base near Dubai was targeted by missiles. The UAE's defence ministry stated that the reports were false and that the armed forces remained ready to respond to any threats.
Iranian state media claimed that the attack on the base was in response to the killing of civilians and Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Larak Island.
