Iran's foreign minister has openly accused the United Arab Emirates of participating in military aggression against Iran. This accusation was declared during a BRICS meeting in New Delhi, as reported by Iranian state media.

This claim arises as the UAE refutes statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who suggested his presence in the Gulf during the conflict with Iran. Despite efforts for diplomatic unity, Iran's minister Araqchi expressed that the UAE's involvement was evident.

The situation remains tense, with Iran urging the UAE to reassess its security alliances, especially with the U.S. and Israel. Concerns persist about the potential diplomatic fallout at the BRICS meeting due to these regional conflicts.
