A senior official representing a group of Gulf states rejected Iran's accusations against the United Arab Emirates, describing them as baseless and unacceptable. The official said Iran had not only attacked UAE territory but was now attempting to twist the facts surrounding the incident. The statement emphasized that countries in the region stand united with the UAE.

"GCC countries stand united with the United Arab Emirates and support all measures it takes to preserve its security, stability and sovereignty," the official said, according to a report by @MarioNawfal. Iran had accused the UAE of colluding with hostile actors against it.

The regional response indicated unified support for the UAE in response to both the reported attack and the subsequent accusations.

The development reflects ongoing tensions between Iran and Gulf states, with the UAE maintaining its position on the matter. Further details on the specific attack referenced were not immediately available in the reporting.
