The United Arab Emirates has issued a firm condemnation of the recent wave of missile and drone strikes launched by Iran against Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. In an official statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs characterized these aggressive actions as a blatant breach of national sovereignty and a direct threat to the stability of the region. The Emirati government expressed its unwavering support for these neighboring nations, backing all necessary measures they take to protect their territory and ensure the safety of their citizens.

This regional escalation follows explicit warnings from Iran’s military, which targeted several sites including the Al Azraq Air Base in Jordan and the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, claiming these locations were used to facilitate U.S. operations. While Bahrain’s defense forces reported successfully intercepting incoming aerial threats, the broader situation remains precarious. With Iran threatening further strikes against regional infrastructure and potential disruptions to energy exports, there is growing concern that the Middle East may be inching closer to a full-scale conflict.
