The "Khatam al-Anbiya" military command also warned that if any actions are taken from UAE territory against Iranian islands, ports, or coasts, Iran will respond "harshly" and, in its words, "with regret."
The Iranian command also urged Emirati officials not to allow the UAE to become a "haven" for American and Israeli troops and equipment, arguing that such a role would be equivalent to a betrayal of the Islamic world.
The statement said that "incitement, accusations, and playing the victim" would not resolve disputes and would only disrupt the international atmosphere. It added that Iran's stated restraint so far has been motivated by concern for the "safety and well-being" of Muslims living in the UAE.
