UAE confirms participation in US-led strikes on Iran

The United Arab Emirates has confirmed that its armed forces participated in Operation Epic Fury, the US-led military campaign targeting Iranian military infrastructure during the recent regional conflict.

According to UAE officials, the operation was carried out in coordination with allied forces and formed part of a broader effort to counter security threats and support regional stability.

The confirmation follows weeks of speculation over the extent of the UAE's military involvement after reports emerged that several Gulf states had provided varying levels of operational support during the campaign.

Officials did not disclose details regarding the number of aircraft, personnel or specific targets involved in the operation, citing security considerations.

The acknowledgement marks the first official confirmation of the UAE's direct participation in Operation Epic Fury, which was launched as part of the wider military campaign against Iran earlier this year.
