According to the American publication The Wall Street Journal, the United Arab Emirates has secretly conducted military attacks against Iran; a matter that, according to sources familiar with the publication, could position the UAE as one of the active parties in the conflict with Iran.

Sources close to The Wall Street Journal have stated that the attacks that the UAE has not publicly confirmed so far include an assault on a refinery on Lavan Island in the Persian Gulf.

In early April, coinciding with the announcement of a ceasefire by Donald Trump, several airstrikes targeted Iranian oil facilities in the country's islands and what are referred to as the continental shelf areas of the National Iranian Oil Company, resulting in widespread fires and the shutdown of a significant portion of the Lavan refinery for several months.

At that time, Iran announced that this refinery was targeted in a "hostile attack" and, in response, launched a wave of missile and drone attacks against the UAE and Kuwait.
