UAE security authorities have dismantled a ‘terrorist network’ allegedly funded and operated by Hezbollah and its backer Iran, state media has reported.
It said the network, which had been operating under a fictitious commercial cover, was involved in ‘money laundering, financing terrorism and threatening national security’, and sought to undermine financial stability.
Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry strongly condemned what it described as a ‘terrorist plot’ against the UAE, denounced Hezbollah’s alleged involvement, and offered cooperation by Lebanese authorities to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
In a post on X, it also reiterated a Lebanese government decision issued earlier this month banning Hezbollah’s military and security activities.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah or Iran.
The development follows a separate incident in Kuwait, where authorities said on Monday they had uncovered a group linked to Hezbollah that was planning acts aimed at undermining national security. They seized weapons, ammunition, and drones.
