UAE Denies Iran IRGC Attack Rumors

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have officially refuted reports alleging that the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) conducted an attack on an Oracle data center within Dubai. The Dubai Government's Media Office publicly declared these claims as 'fake news,' emphasizing their lack of factual basis. This clarification follows earlier reports from Iranian media that suggested the IRGC had targeted data centers of US firms, including Oracle in Dubai and Amazon in Bahrain.

The UAE has consistently advised its citizens and residents to be wary of misinformation, particularly during times of elevated regional tensions, and to seek information exclusively from official government channels. Iran had previously warned that the IRGC would target American companies in retaliation for US-Israeli aggression. These alleged attacks by Iran come after Iran stated it had targeted the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel in response to strikes on its steel plants.
