The United Arab Emirates has firmly rejected reports alleging that USD 3 billion was transferred to Iran, describing the claims as baseless and inaccurate. The denial comes amid heightened scrutiny over a proposed US-Iran agreement aimed at reducing tensions in West Asia and addressing concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically denied media reports claiming that funds, including an alleged USD 3 billion, had been transferred to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In a post on X, the ministry stated: "The United Arab Emirates has categorically denied reports published by certain international media outlets alleging the transfer of funds from the UAE to the Islamic Republic of Iran, including allegations concerning USD 3 billion. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that these allegations are entirely false and unfounded, stressing that no frozen Iranian funds have been released, transferred, or facilitated through the UAE."
The ministry further urged media organisations to verify information through official channels before publishing such reports.
"The Ministry also called on media outlets to exercise accuracy, rely on official sources, and refrain from publishing or circulating unverified information and unfounded allegations," the post read.
