UAE denies claims Iran targeted base housing US forces with missiles

The United Arab Emirates on Monday denied claims that Tehran targeted a base housing U.S. personnel with missiles, after announcing it had intercepted an Iranian drone over its waters.

"Media reports regarding a missile attack on Al Minhad Air Base are baseless," the Emirati defense ministry said in a statement on X.

Earlier on Monday, Iran had said it targeted the base using "dozens of attack drones".
