The United Arab Emirates has strongly rejected media reports claiming that funds, including an alleged $3 billion, were transferred from the UAE to Iran.

In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the allegations published by some international outlets were “entirely false and unfounded,” adding that no frozen Iranian assets have been released, transferred, or facilitated through the country.

The ministry stressed that the reports had no basis in fact and urged media organisations to ensure accuracy and rely on official sources when reporting.

It also called on outlets to avoid circulating unverified claims and “unfounded allegations,” reiterating that the UAE remains committed to transparency in its financial and diplomatic conduct.
