Even as Emirati air defenses intercepted Iranian missiles over Dubai, a senior military official in Tehran issued a jarring statement claiming the regime has no plans to target the UAE.
In a move that has baffled international observers, a senior Iranian military official claimed on Monday that the Islamic Republic has no intention of attacking the United Arab Emirates. This statement, widely circulated by Iranian state media, stands in direct contradiction to the physical reality on the ground, where the UAE Ministry of Defense confirmed the interception of four missiles launched from Iranian territory earlier the same day. The official’s comments appear to be part of a broader diplomatic effort to project a defensive stance while simultaneously conducting offensive operations across the Gulf.
The disconnect between Tehran’s rhetoric and its military actions was most visible in Dubai, where residents reported hearing loud explosions as defensive batteries engaged incoming threats near the Jebel Ali port. Despite these clear acts of aggression, the senior commander insisted that "Iran has no plan to attack the United Arab Emirates," attempting to frame the current escalation as a war directed solely at foreign "pirates" and American forces. This narrative is often used by the regime to drive a wedge between the United States and its regional partners.
Military analysts suggest that these conflicting messages are a calculated strategy to create strategic ambiguity. By denying the attacks, Tehran seeks to avoid the full weight of international condemnation while continuing to pressure the Emirates through drone strikes on industrial sites like Fujairah and missile volleys toward its major cities. This policy of denial also provides the regime with a degree of plausible deniability during ongoing, albeit stalled, negotiations for a ceasefire. However, with casualties mounting among foreign workers in the UAE and Oman, the credibility of Tehran’s "no plan" pledge is rapidly evaporating.

If the Iranians lips are moving, they’re lying.
That’s taqiyya for you.
TAQIYYA—_AGAINST FELLOW MUSLIMS
More “fog of war” carp.
Somewhat corrected:
They were sent by us, but not by the US.
Considering the first tenant is lying like a rug and the second is sodomizing lower status males I don't think that is correct.
However it does provide a great deal of insight into what those posters consider "manly".
Your face was hitting me in the fist.
Plausible deniability.
That was the SA (brown shirts) entire gig.
They were tough (in a gang) homos that liked to prey on weak homos.
What’s old is new.
That is, indeed, the attempted game.
They can deny plainly obvious things because they are counting on the (anti-) western press to cover for them. And they will.
Or a dangerous lack of control.
“ They can deny plainly obvious things because they are counting on the (anti-) western press to cover for them. And they will.”
Notice how every absurd Itanian lie (“we shot down x” “genocide!”) is breathlessly reported by every MSM source as Gospel.
Actions speak louder than words
These slime bags, are utterly incapable of telling the truth.
It’s not baffling at all- Iran has no control over its troops. The IRGC commanders do what they want.

The goal of the mohammedan whether of snow or sand variety, is sodomy, slavery, thievery and, of course, murder.
Not sure I find those to be "manly values". But everyone has their own viewpoint of course.
The Iranian “Government” has lost control...
I believe fractured doesn’t begin to cover what’s going on there...
I thought there were articles in the last day or two where Iran was threatening UAE?
