Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for the unified command of Iran’s armed forces, claimed that Iran had targeted a warehouse storing ‘Ukrainian anti-drone systems’ in Dubai.
According to a statement published in Iranian media, the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace and naval forces carried out a joint operation that destroyed the warehouse to assist the US military.
Colonel Zolfaqari said that 21 Ukrainian personnel were present at the warehouse, but it was unclear whether they were harmed in the attack.
On the other hand, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hovhannes Tekhi denied the Iranian claims. In a message to journalists, he said: “This is a lie. We officially deny this report. The Iranian government frequently spreads such disinformation, and in this case, it is no different from the Russians.”
