Iran live updates: Trump posts map labeling Strait of Hormuz 'new' US territory

The spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry is denying claims that Iran launched missiles at the United Arab Emirates.

"The Foreign Ministry spokesman completely rejected the UAE's claim that Iran launched a missile at the country, expressing regret over the accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and considered this behavior to be contrary to the principle of good neighborliness and disruptive to ongoing efforts to strengthen trust between regional countries and prevent the escalation of insecurity in the region," the spokesman said in a readout posted on Iranian state media FARS.

Earlier, UAE officials said air defenses detected two ballistic missiles approaching from Iran that were "targeting maritime navigation," which fell into the sea.

Air defenses detected two Iranian missiles fired toward the United Arab Emirates Tuesday, both of which fell into the water off the coast of the UAE, in its territorial waters, according to a statement from the UAE Ministry of Defense.

This appears to be the first time Iran has fired missiles directly at the UAE in several months.

Iranian projectiles targeted ships UAE ships in the Strait of Hormuz last week.

Residents in Dubai have been told to seek shelter after UAE air defense systems detected a missile threat targeting the county.

"Please remain in a safe location and follow warnings and updates issued through official channels," the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority of the UAE said Tuesday.

Special Envoy Jared Kushner said Iran is "not showing any interest" in making a deal that makes sense for the U.S., but noted that dialogue between the two countries is more "robust" than ever.

Kushner’s comments came after President Donald Trump said that there are no conversations ongoing or scheduled with Iran — contradicting Kushner and even himself after acknowledging earlier that there were backchannel discussions between the U.S. and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Pressed for specifics on the reported conversations, Kushner said Monday that he would not get into specifics but declared that “the conversations between the US government and- and different areas of the Iranian government, at all areas, is probably more robust than it's maybe ever been," Kushner said.

Trump's son-in-law noted that, at the moment, Iran was “not showing any interest in- in doing something that makes sense for us” in terms of making a deal.

“They have to be willing to make a real deal. I think if they're going to try to play a trick or do something to hide certain cards and get certain concessions. For now, President Trump wants to make a fair deal,” he added.
