UAE denies attacking Iran, slams Israel’s lies

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has furiously denied any role in an attack on an Iranian water desalination plant on Sunday 8 March 2026 — and has slammed Israel’s attempts to claim that the UAE committed the attack.

A UAE government source said that the government is:

struggling to understand Israeli conduct and the nature of briefings coming out of Jerusalem.

It is not appropriate for what is described as a ‘senior Israeli source’ to speak on our behalf or spread rumors about the actions of another sovereign state. This is a sovereign state that makes its decisions independently.

Israel has reportedly conducted a number of ‘false flag’ attacks on water and oil facilities of Arab states in the region in an attempt to force them and western nations to enter direct action against Iran. The occupation colony has a long and well-documented record of using such attacks for political ends. Saudi Arabia and Qatar arrested Mossad spies shortly after bombings of their facilities.

Iranian drones and missiles have struck US bases in various Arab states around the region since the illegal US-Israeli ‘Epstein class’ attack that murdered Iranian political and spiritual leaders, slaughtered more than 160 schoolgirls and destroyed at least six Iranian hospitals.
