Iranian media report that the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic accused the United Arab Emirates of "direct interference" in military operations against his country during the BRICS meeting in New Delhi. This tension arose a day after the UAE rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim of visiting the Gulf nation during the Iran war.

The Mehr News Agency quoted Araqchi as saying: "For the sake of unity, I did not mention the UAE in my speech at BRICS. But the truth is that the UAE was directly involved in the aggression against my country. When the attacks began, they didn't even condemn it." Iranian media did not specify what statements the UAE representative made at the meeting.

According to these reports, Araqchi also stated that "neither U.S. bases nor an alliance with Israel has brought security to the UAE, and this country needs to reconsider its policy towards Iran." Araqchi had previously said: "Those who collaborate with Israel to create division will be held accountable."

Iranian media have also expressed doubt about whether the participants in the BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting in India will be able to issue a joint final statement, as differences between Iran and the UAE continue. In this context, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, was quoted as saying that due to the UAE's presence at the meeting, there have been "problems and consultations."
