UAE rejects Iran claim US strike on Kharg Island launched from its territory

March 14 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates hit back at Iran over accusations that a U.S. strike on Kharg Island — an oil hub handling about 90% of Iran's exports — originated from the Gulf state, saying Tehran's policy was confused and lacked wisdom.

In a post on X, Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said the country had the right to defend itself but "continues to prioritise reason and logic."
