Iran Says It Stroke Ukrainian Depot in Dubai
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for Iran's primary military command Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, stated that a Dubai-based warehouse — reportedly stocked with Ukrainian anti-drone systems and housing 21 Ukrainian personnel — was neutralized in a coordinated strike carried out jointly by the IRGC's Air Force and Navy.
Kyiv moved swiftly to reject the claims outright. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi dismissed the IRGC's account as "a lie," according to Interfax-Ukraine.
The denial was echoed at the highest levels of Ukraine's security establishment. Interfax-Ukraine also cited a spokesperson for Rustem Umerov, secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, who issued a categorical rebuttal: "This information does not correspond to reality. It is fake."
The dueling statements underscore the deepening proxy tensions between Tehran and Kyiv, as the broader regional conflict — ignited by joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran beginning Feb. 28 — continues to draw in an expanding cast of actors and flashpoints across the Middle East and beyond.
