DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Authorities in the United Arab Emirates sounded an incoming missile alert on Friday for Dubai before quickly telling the public to \u201cdisregard the previous warning,\u201d an indication it was likely triggered by mistake.<\/p>\n

The mobile phone alert startled many across Dubai, the first since the United States and Iran last week reached an interim ceasefire in the war.<\/p>\n

The warning underscored the ongoing tensions in the region, following an attack on a cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz and Israeli strikes in Lebanon over the past few days.<\/p>\n

Iran is suspected of launching a drone attack against a tanker off the coast of Oman on Thursday as Tehran increasingly challenges the region and the U.S. over its control of the strait, even with the current interim deal in the Iran war.<\/p>\n

The brief text alert that was sent from the UAE\u2019s Interior Ministry on Friday afternoon was also the first of its kind during the Iran war, and seemed to have been an accidental alert that went out to the public. It wasn\u2019t immediately clear what sparked the warning.<\/p>\n

A short time after the alert, the Emiratis said there was a telephone call between Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. It quoted Sheikh Abdullah as telling Araghchi that the UAE \u201cemphasized the importance of full commitment\u201d to the interim deal between Iran and the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cSerious diplomacy and responsible dialogue are the optimal path for addressing all regional and international crises,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Iran are still negotiating terms of the interim peace deal, including issues such as getting ships through the key strait and addressing the future of Iran\u2019s stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Under the interim deal, the two sides have 60 days to work out the details.<\/p>\n
