Iran had "no pre-planned programme" to attack oil facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Iranian state TV said Monday, after the UAE blamed the Islamic republic for a drone strike at an energy installation in Fujairah.

Authorities in the emirate said the strike injured three Indian nationals who were taken to hospital. The UAE meanwhile said it had been targeted by a fresh Iranian barrage which it described as a "dangerous escalation", amid a ceasefire in the Middle East war.

Two people were injured when a residential building was targeted in Oman's Bukha along the coastline of the Strait of Hormuz, state media reported on Monday.

An Israeli military official said Monday that the army remained on high alert and was monitoring the situation after a U.S. admiral said forces destroyed six Iranian boats and shot down missiles.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran had "taken some shots" but caused little harm in the Strait of Hormuz Monday, while urging South Korea to join the war after one of its vessels was hit.

The United States has destroyed six Iranian boats and shot down missiles and drones fired at U.S. Navy and commercial vessels by Tehran's forces, a top U.S. admiral said Monday.

The UAE said Monday that its air defenses were dealing with Iranian missile and drone attacks, after saying that it previously intercepted three missiles over its territorial waters earlier in the day.

A drone strike meanwhile caused a fire at an energy installation in the emirate of Fujairah, authorities said.

President Joseph Aoun said on Monday that a security deal and an end to Israeli attacks were needed before any meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sought by Washington.

Aoun's office said in a statement that the president "reiterated his view that the timing is not appropriate now for a meeting" with Netanyahu, and quoted Aoun as saying: "We must first reach a security agreement and stop the Israeli attacks on us before we raise the issue of a meeting between us."

Israeli police on Monday warned people not to defy the cancelation of a major pilgrimage near the border with Lebanon, scrapped because of hostilities with Hezbollah, while local media reported thousands had gathered at the site.

Fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah is ongoing in southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire in effect since mid-April.

Hezbollah said its forces clashed with Israeli soldiers on Monday in south Lebanon near the border where its troops are still operating, despite a ceasefire since April 17.

Hezbollah in a statement said that after Israeli troops attempted to advance near the town of Deir Seryan -- which is inside the Israeli-declared "yellow line" where Lebanese residents have been told not to return -- its fighters "opened fire on the enemy force and engaged in heavy clashes with them".

A Hezbollah lawmaker urged Lebanese authorities on Monday to declare the U.S. ambassador "persona non grata" after the envoy suggested those who had offended Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi should leave the country.

The controversy erupted on Saturday after a video published by Lebanese television channel LBCI caricatured Hezbollah leaders and fighters as characters from the "Angry Birds" mobile phone games, triggering sectarian-tinged debate.
