Iran said the attack on an oil facility in Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates was not a pre-planned operation, as a dispute over responsibility continues.

Walter Bloomberg reported on May 4 that Iran's state broadcaster, citing a military official, said the attack on the Fujairah oil facility "was not planned in advance."

The remarks came after a recent drone strike sparked a fire at energy infrastructure in the area.

Iran's statement suggested it was cautioning against broader interpretations of its intent behind the attack.

Military tensions surrounding energy infrastructure in the Middle East remain elevated.
