Jordan has condemned Iranian drone attacks on an Emirati oil tanker, calling the incident “a blatant violation” of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Affairs affirmed in a statement Jordan’s rejection and condemnation of this attack, emphasising Jordan’s absolute solidarity with the sisterly United Arab Emirates, and its full support for all steps it takes to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens,” the foreign ministry says.
