The United Arab Emirates expressed its strongest condemnation and indignation at the blatant Iranian missile attacks targeting the country and several brotherly countries in the region, considering these actions a gross violation of national sovereignty and a clear contradiction of the principles of international law and the UN Charter.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, stressed the United Arab Emirates' full solidarity and support for the brotherly countries affected by these attacks, stressing that the security of brotherly countries is indivisible and any encroachment on the sovereignty of any of them is considered an encroachment on the security and stability of the entire region.
The state also categorically rejects the use of the territories of regional countries as arenas for settling scores or escalating the conflict, warning of the grave consequences of continuing these violations, which undermine regional and international security and threaten the stability of the global economy and energy security.
The United Arab Emirates reiterated its call for restraint and recourse to diplomatic solutions and serious dialogue, stressing that this is the best way to overcome the current crises and to safeguard the security and stability of the region and its peoples.
The UAE reserves the full and legitimate right to respond to these attacks in a manner that ensures the protection of its sovereignty, national security, territorial integrity and the safety of its citizens and residents in accordance with international law, and that it will not show leniency in defending its security and sovereignty under any circumstances.
The United Arab Emirates expressed its sincere condolences and deep sympathy to the family and relatives of the victim of Pakistani origin who died as a result of these attacks, expressing full solidarity with them and reaffirming that missile strikes on civilians and civilian objects are reprehensible and unacceptable by all legal and humanitarian standards.
