UAE was directly involved in anti-Iranian actions: Abbas Araqchi

TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of being directly involved in anti-Iranian actions.

Addressing the BRICS, the Iranian Foreign Minister said that the name of the United Arab Emirates was not mentioned for the sake of solidarity. When the attacks on Iran began, the United Arab Emirates did not even condemn them. The United Arab Emirates should review its policy towards Iran.

The Iranian Foreign Minister said that it is time to throw American bullying into the dustbin of history. Our resistance against American bullying is not a new war. Most of our nations have faced the same oppression in different forms.

Abbas Araqchi said that it is time for us to move forward together. This act of bullying deserves to be thrown into the dustbin of history. Today, we are closer to each other than ever before, and we cannot ignore this common and dangerous challenge.

He said that declining empires can go to any extent to prevent their own end.

It should be noted that a statement issued by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office yesterday stated that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu made a secret visit to the United Arab Emirates during the Iran-Iraq War and met with the Emirati President; however, the UAE denied the Israeli Prime Minister’s visit to the Emirates during the Iran-Iraq War.
