The United Arab Emirates has warned that it reserves the right to respond to the latest Iranian attacks, signaling a new phase of escalation in the Persian Gulf.
In an official statement, the Emirati Foreign Ministry condemned the missile and drone attacks, calling them "treacherous aggression" and a direct threat to the country's security and stability.
Authorities in Abu Dhabi stressed that these actions constitute a serious escalation and violation of the principles of international law. In this context, they underlined that they retain the "full and legitimate right" to respond to the attacks and defend their sovereignty.
The statement comes after a series of incidents in the region, including the strike on energy infrastructure in Fujairah and suspected attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The latest developments point to a rapid deterioration in the security situation, as tensions between Iran and international actors continue to rise, despite the previously announced ceasefire.
The UAE's warning raises the risk of a wider clash in a region key to global energy supplies, where any military response could have immediate consequences for regional stability and international markets.
