The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned and denounced the hostile Iranian attack that targeted two vessels affiliated with ADNOC as they transited the Strait of Hormuz, with no injuries reported.

Axar.az reports, citing the official website of the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that the ministry said the attack constitutes a flagrant violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2817, which affirms the importance of freedom of navigation and rejects the targeting of commercial vessels or obstruction of international maritime routes.

The ministry emphasized that targeting commercial shipping and using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of economic coercion or blackmail constitutes acts of piracy by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and poses a direct threat to regional stability, the region's people and global energy security.

The UAE further stressed the need for Iran to halt these unprovoked attacks, ensure its full commitment to an immediate cessation of all hostilities, and the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in order to safeguard regional security, and maintain the stability of the global economy and trade.
