The UAE expressed anger at Iran for singling them out. Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic advisor to the UAE president, denied any UAE aggression towards Iran, calling Iran's policy 'confused' and 'misdirected.' He emphasized that the UAE prioritizes reason and logic, maintaining restraint. While denying direct involvement, the UAE did not rule out the possibility that the US might have used bases in the Gulf to target Iran.

The UAE believes Iran is engaging in psychological warfare through its rhetoric, but Iran has followed up with specific site targeting. Attacks are expected to continue, particularly in the evening. The UAE has been disproportionately targeted by Iran, receiving over 2,000 missiles and drones, striking ports like Jebali and airports in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The UAE is on high alert, anticipating further strikes.
