Official sources clarify that no frozen Iranian assets have been transferred or released.
ABU DHABI — The United Arab Emirates has officially refuted recent media reports claiming that it has released frozen Iranian assets worth $3 billion. Dismissing the allegations as completely groundless, official UAE sources confirmed that no financial transfers of this nature have taken place, clarifying the nation’s stance on strictly adhering to international financial regulations.
The clarification comes in the wake of widespread speculation circulating on various media platforms and social networks, which alleged that Abu Dhabi had cleared the multi-billion-dollar fund transfer to Tehran.
According to authoritative UAE officials, these claims lack any factual basis. The government reiterated that there has been no change in the status of Iranian funds within the country, and no frozen assets have been unblocked or handed over to the Iranian government.
The UAE has consistently maintained a rigorous compliance framework regarding international banking standards and sanctions. Financial regulatory bodies in the Emirates continuously monitor cross-border transactions to ensure absolute alignment with global legal frameworks, making unauthorized asset releases of this scale highly improbable.
By swiftly addressing the rumors, the UAE aims to curb further economic speculation and maintain geopolitical stability in the region, reaffirming its commitment to transparency in international financial dealings.
