Anwar Gargash urges media and public to remain vigilant against misinformation, saying rumours during wars can create confusion
In a post on X, Gargash said the UAE remains firm in confronting what he described as Iranian aggression, noting that both society and the media have a role to play in preventing the spread of unverified claims.
He warned that wars have historically been accompanied by misinformation and attempts to create panic, stressing that vigilance against rumours is a national responsibility.
Authorities in the UAE have repeatedly urged residents to rely on official sources for updates and avoid sharing unverified information online as the country responds to missile and drone incidents linked to the wider regional conflict.
