The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has condemned the Iranian attack on Oman, “considering these hostile acts a dangerous escalation, a blatant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to the region’s security and stability”.

The UAE’s foreign ministry, in a statement, affirmed that “expanding the scope of these attacks to include sisterly and friendly nations is unacceptable and condemned by all legal and political standards, and constitutes an unacceptable escalation that undermines de-escalation efforts and exacerbates regional tensions”.
