The United Arab Emirates will form a committee to document Iran’s attacks during the Middle East war to support legal action, after earlier calling for reparations, AFP reports citing state media.

Major landmarks, including Dubai’s luxury Palm development, as well as airports and energy facilities, were among the sites hit in Iran’s retaliatory attacks on the Gulf.

A new national committee has been tasked with “documenting and monitoring all incidents of attacks and military actions associated with the Iranian aggression”, the official WAM news agency says.

“The outcomes of the committee’s work will contribute to supporting the UAE’s legal efforts at both the national and international levels by preparing a comprehensive documentation file,” it adds.
