The United Arab Emirates sought to allay concerns it has been impacted or is a target in tensions between the United States and its regional neighbor Iran.

The Foreign Ministry on Wednesday said tensions in the region “will not affect citizens, residents or visitors.”

It stressed that sectors across the country are operating normally.

Also Wednesday, Dubai said rumors being circulated regarding security threats targeting the emirate are fake and haven’t been issued from any official Iranian government source.

The UAE has called for de-escalation.
