The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Wednesday via X, firmly rejecting misleading media reports about the residency status of Iranian nationals in the country.
The ministry emphasized that the UAE is home to a respected and valued Iranian community that plays an integral role in its social fabric, contributing to the nation’s diversity and cultural openness.
Highlighting its broader identity, the UAE described itself as a melting pot of more than 200 nationalities, embodying its long-standing commitment to coexistence, tolerance, and inclusivity. Officials reiterated that these principles remain central to the country’s approach to all residents.
Addressing the circulating claims directly, the ministry reassured the public that the UAE’s institutional policies are governed by clear, established frameworks designed to protect the safety and well-being of everyone, without discrimination.
The statement concluded with a reaffirmation of the UAE’s commitment to maintaining a safe, stable environment rooted in the rule of law, one that safeguards the rights of all residents and upholds the country’s enduring values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
