Egypt has condemned the latest Iranian attacks on the United Arab Emirates, which left three people injured.

“Egypt affirms that the continuation and repetition of these attacks constitute a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the sisterly United Arab Emirates, a clear breach of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and a direct threat to the security and stability of the region,” the Egyptian foreign ministry has said in a statement.

Expressing solidarity with the UAE, it calls the attacks an unacceptable escalation which “undermines all regional and international efforts aimed at de-escalation and establishing stability”.
