It is claimed that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to allocate between 10-20 billion dollars to Tehran in exchange for Iran stopping its attacks, and the first 3 billion dollars have already been transferred to Iran.
Modern.az reports that "Reuters" published this information citing four sources.
According to the agency's sources, it could be both the UAE's own funds and Iranian assets that have been frozen in the Emirates' banking system for a long time.
According to the claims, the main condition of the agreement is that Iran stops missile and drone attacks on UAE territory. In return, the parties are expected to restore bilateral cooperation, including the exchange of intelligence information and economic ties.
One of the sources who spoke to "Reuters" stated that in exchange for the allocation of funds, Iran will stop missile and drone attacks against the UAE, and bilateral relations, including the exchange of intelligence information and economic cooperation, will be restored between the two countries.
In addition, UAE officials have confirmed their interest in de-escalation. Official Abu Dhabi stated that one of the main goals of its foreign policy is to reduce tensions and promote peace.
However, after the "Reuters" report, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially denied the news.
The ministry called the information about such a financial agreement with Iran “completely false and baseless.”
Nevertheless, "Reuters" sources state that the information they provided is true.
According to the agency, Tehran has also conveyed a similar agreement proposal to at least two other Persian Gulf countries.
According to additional "Reuters" sources, the UAE transferred several billion dollars to Iran by unfreezing assets. It is also claimed that 2 tons of gold worth 283 million dollars were sent to Iran.
According to the information, these steps were aimed at protecting against possible attacks from Tehran.
The alleged valuable cargo is reported to have been delivered to Iran by a “Boeing 737-7KK” aircraft belonging to RoyalJetavia, located in the UAE. The aircraft's registration number was A6-RJA.
