The Iranian military on Tuesday rejected accusations by the United Arab Emirates that Tehran had launched new attacks against the Gulf state.
No missiles or drones have been fired at targets in the UAE in the past days, a spokesman for the operational headquarters of the Iranian armed forces said in a statement published by national radio.
At the same time, the military spokesman threatened the UAE, accusing the country of having turned into a "base for the Americans and Zionists" and an “enemy of the Islamic world."
Should any attacks be launched against Iran from UAE territory, the attackers would come to regret it, he said.
It comes after the UAE reported fresh Iranian strikes for the second consecutive day on Tuesday.
The spokesman's statement contradicted comments by the Iranian armed forces on Monday, which described the attacks as a response to a US initiative to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Monday's attacks - the first since a ceasefire between the US and Iran took effect about four weeks ago - caused a fire at an oil depot in the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman.
US President Donald Trump responded with a renewed threat to destroy Iran.
