The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has strongly denied recent media reports claiming that it agreed to release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets. The UAE foreign ministry described the allegations as false and completely unfounded.
In an official statement issued on Saturday, the UAE categorically rejected claims that it had released any Iranian funds. The reports suggested that up to $20 billion in assets might have been unlocked. However, the government said no such financial transfer has taken place.
The UAE also dismissed specific claims mentioning $3 billion in released funds. Officials stressed that no frozen Iranian assets have been moved, transferred, or facilitated through the UAE financial system.
The statement did not provide additional technical details. However, it clearly rejected all suggestions linked to the alleged agreement. The UAE emphasized that the reports circulating in international media were inaccurate.
The denial comes after international reports claimed that the UAE had reached an understanding involving Iranian funds. These reports cited unnamed sources and suggested the move was part of regional de-escalation efforts.
According to those reports, the alleged arrangement was linked to broader diplomatic discussions involving Iran and the United States. However, the UAE has firmly rejected any involvement in such financial releases.
The UAE has maintained that its foreign policy is focused on reducing tensions in the region. Officials stated that the country supports diplomatic efforts aimed at promoting stability and peace.
Earlier, a UAE official had also commented on regional tensions, saying the country works to ease conflicts. The official emphasized that the UAE supports international efforts to protect regional security.
The latest statement reinforces the UAE position that no Iranian funds have been unlocked or transferred. It also highlights the country’s effort to distance itself from unverified media claims.
Meanwhile, reports had suggested that Iranian assets might be part of broader negotiations involving frozen oil revenues. These discussions reportedly involve multiple countries and international stakeholders.
However, no official confirmation has been provided by Iran or other involved parties regarding the alleged UAE arrangement. The situation remains unclear, with conflicting claims circulating in the media.
The UAE continues to urge responsible reporting on sensitive financial and diplomatic matters. Officials say accuracy is important to avoid misunderstanding in already tense regional conditions.
