Published May 14, 2026 Updated May 14, 2026 05:25pm

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused the United Arab Emirates of playing an active role in the US-Israeli war against his country, AFP reports.

“The UAE is an active partner in this aggression, and there is no doubt about it,” Araghchi has said in a Telegram post while attending a BRICS summit in India.

“I must say that the UAE was directly involved in the act of aggression against my country. When this aggression began, they even refused to condemn it,” Araghchi says. “It also became clear that they participated in these attacks and may have even acted directly against us.”
