UAE rejects reports alleging $3B transfer to Iran
'No frozen Iranian funds have been released, transferred, or facilitated through the UAE,' says Foreign Ministry
ABU DHABI, UAE (MNTV) – The United Arab Emirates has denied reports about funds being transferred from the Gulf country to Iran.
“The United Arab Emirates has categorically denied reports published by certain international media outlets alleging the transfer of funds from the UAE to the Islamic Republic of Iran, including allegations concerning USD 3 billion,” according to the Foreign Ministry.
Calling the allegations “entirely false and unfounded,” the ministry stressed that “no frozen Iranian funds have been released, transferred, or facilitated through the UAE.”
It also urged “media outlets to exercise accuracy, rely on official sources, and refrain from publishing or circulating unverified information and unfounded allegations.”
Reuters reported on Friday that the UAE had agreed to unlock Iran’s billions of dollars and that a first tranche of $3 billion had already been made available.
