The United Arab Emirates (UAE) denies that explosions have occurred in the city of Fujairah and says instead that four oil tanks have been "sabotaged" in waters near the port.
Meanwhile, Iran is threateningly rumbling over the US military presence in the area.

Fujairah is located in an emirate province of the same name at the Strait of Hormuz and its port is an important hub for oil and gas transportation in the area. According to the Foreign Ministry, the four oil tankers have been subjected to a "sabotage operation" near the country's territorial waters.
"Exposing commercial vessels to sabotage operations and threatening the lives of their crews is considered a dangerous development," writes the ministry.
The data is released since Iran's state television channel Press TV, referring to the Lebanese television channel al-Mayadin, reported that seven oil tankers were attacked in Fujairah's port. This is completely denied by the UAE.
The incidents should not have caused any injured people or leakage. No details are given about what kind of sabotage it should have been about, nor were the vessels identified other than that they come from different countries.
The emirate statement says nothing about who or who performed the sabotage and does not mention Iran at all.
The Strait of Hormuz, where Fujairah is located, is the entrance to the Persian Gulf. There, the tensions increase as the United States sent there reinforcements in the form of, among other things, heavy bombers and an aircraft carrier - following "clear indications" of Iranian threats to US forces in the area.
This, in turn, gets Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Air Force, to ravage threateningly that Iran's military capability has increased.
"An aircraft carrier that has at least 40 to 50 planes on board and 6,000 soldiers gathered within it was a serious threat to us in the past but now it is a goal and the threat has turned into opportunities," he says according to Iranian news agency Isna.
