Iran has denied any connection to the killing of Israeli Rabbi Zvi Kogan, whose body was found in the UAE days after he went missing.

In a statement on Monday, the Iranian embassy in Abu Dhabi said that Tehran categorically rejects allegations of its involvement in the killing of "Kogan".

The UAE confirmed, on Sunday evening, the killing of "Kogan" and the arrest of "3 perpetrators in the incident."

The UAE Ministry of Interior said in a statement that the body of the Israeli rabbi who had been missing since Thursday had been found in the UAE.

The Emirati statement came after a joint statement by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Mossad intelligence agency, which stated that Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an Israeli citizen of Moldovan origin, residing in the UAE, “disappeared under mysterious circumstances since Thursday afternoon.”

According to the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Kogan was officially residing in the UAE as an assistant to the Chief Rabbi of Abu Dhabi.

Following the incident, the Hebrew media began circulating news about Iran's involvement in the killing of "Kogan".

In a related context, the Israeli National Security Council warned, in a statement, its citizens against traveling to the Emirates except in cases of necessity.

The warning statement asked Israeli citizens in the UAE to "avoid visiting businesses, gathering places and entertainment venues associated with Israel and Jews."
