Iran lashed out at the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, accusing Abu Dhabi of direct involvement in military operations against Tehran during a tense exchange at the Brics foreign ministers’ meeting in New Delhi.
The sharp escalation came a day after the UAE denied a claim by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he had visited the Gulf country during the Iran war. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had earlier warned that “those colluding with Israel to sow division will be held to account.” “I didn't name the UAE in my (BRICS) statement for the sake of unity. But the truth is that the UAE was directly involved in the aggression against my country,” he said, reported Reuters , citing Iranian state media. “When the attacks started, they didn't even issue a condemnation,” he added.
