The United Arab Emirates has issued a strong condemnation following a hostile attack by Iranian forces on an Adnoc-affiliated vessel as it navigated the Strait of Hormuz. Fortunately, officials confirmed that no injuries were sustained during the incident. In a formal statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs characterized the assault as a clear breach of UN Security Council resolution 2817, which protects the freedom of navigation and explicitly prohibits the disruption of vital international maritime trade routes.

Authorities have labeled the actions of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as acts of piracy, warning that leveraging the Strait of Hormuz for economic coercion poses a severe threat to global energy security and regional stability. The UAE is now calling for an immediate end to these unprovoked hostilities, insisting that Iran must allow for the unconditional reopening of the strait to protect international trade and ensure the safety of all commercial shipping operations moving forward.
