The United Arab Emirates’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a sharp condemnation regarding the latest wave of Iranian drone and missile strikes targeting Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. In an official statement, the UAE characterized these aggressive maneuvers as a flagrant breach of national sovereignty that poses a direct threat to regional peace and stability. Emphasizing its unwavering support for its neighbors, the UAE reaffirmed its commitment to standing in solidarity with these nations as they take necessary measures to protect their citizens and secure their borders.

The regional volatility has intensified significantly following a series of weekend skirmishes between US and Iranian forces surrounding the strategic Strait of Hormuz. While Tehran claims to have successfully targeted American military installations and closed the critical maritime passage, the US military has categorically denied these assertions, maintaining that the waterway remains fully operational. Amidst these conflicting reports, various countries across the Gulf—including Saudi Arabia and Oman—have reported intercepting hostile fire. With Iran’s military command issuing stern warnings against regional cooperation with the US, the situation continues to evolve rapidly, fueling concerns over further escalation.
