Pak-based accounts have shared online, stating, “According to credible sources, Emirati intelligence has finalized a list of Indian nationals to be deported from the UAE after India’s espionage role in the Iran-Israel episode. The list primarily includes IT professionals, computer systems engineers, and electrical engineers.”
It’s important to note that our previous investigations have already debunked claims of Indian national involvement in any espionage activity related to the Iran-Israel conflict, concluding these assertions were baseless. The fact check can be viewed here.
A user named @shadowfox_11 shared the claim. It states that Emirati intelligence has compiled a list of Indian nationals, predominantly IT professionals and engineers, for deportation from the UAE. This purported action is linked to an alleged Indian espionage role in the recent Iran-Israel episode.
Another user also shared the claim, which can be viewed here.
Fact Check
Upon investigation, we found the claim to be Fake. There are no reports from official UAE sources (like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ICP, or major UAE news agencies). The Indian Embassy, mentioning a deportation list of Indian nationals due to espionage, was also not found.
Furthermore, a press release dated June 13, 2025, from the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, strongly condemned Israel’s military targeting of Iran. It expressed deep concern over regional escalation, highlighting the UAE’s focus on de-escalation and stability. Not punitive actions against a third nation’s citizens based on unsubstantiated espionage claims.
Conclusion
The claim that Emirati intelligence has finalized a list of Indian nationals for deportation due to an alleged espionage role in the Iran-Israel episode is categorically fake. No credible evidence supports this assertion, and official communications from the UAE confirm this.
