The United Arab Emirates has officially denounced the recent wave of missile and drone strikes launched by Iran against Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan on Tuesday, July 21. In a formal statement, the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned these actions as a blatant violation of national sovereignty and a direct threat to the stability of the region. Expressing unwavering solidarity with the affected nations, the UAE declared its full support for any necessary measures these countries may take to defend their borders and protect their citizens.

These hostilities mark the tenth day of a volatile escalation between the U.S. and Iran, dragging regional neighbors into the conflict. While the Iranian military claimed to have targeted American defense assets in Bahrain and Kuwait, local authorities have responded with defensive actions; Bahrain successfully intercepted incoming strikes and urged residents to remain vigilant, while Jordan’s military confirmed the destruction of three incoming missiles with no reported casualties or property damage. As tensions continue to rise despite previous attempts at a ceasefire, the UAE is urging all involved parties to practice maximum restraint to prevent the region from spiraling into further instability and violence.
