Iran's army reported that it attacked the United Arab Emirates' Al Minhad Air Base with drones early Monday. However, the UAE defense ministry stated that its air force engaged a drone over territorial waters coming from Iran and rejected reports of an attack on the Al Menhad airbase as false.
The incident follows a strike by U.S. forces on Sunday against Iranian rocket launchers on an Iranian island, an action that broke a lull in fighting during the ongoing six-month war.
In response to the fended-off attack, the UAE called for a more realistic approach to end the conflict. Meanwhile, Trump stressed last week that he is not in a hurry to get Iran back to the negotiating table.
