Gulf Tensions Rise as UAE Condemns Iran Attacks on Neighbours
The UAE condemns Iran attacks launched against Bahrain and Kuwait, calling the missile and drone strikes a direct violation of both nations’ sovereignty.
The attacks came as Tehran continues to respond to ongoing US military action, with air defence systems in both Gulf states intercepting several incoming projectiles before they caused major damage.
In its statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed solidarity with Bahrain and Kuwait, urging all sides to show restraint and avoid actions that could widen the conflict across the region.
The UAE has repeatedly called for de-escalation since fighting between the US and Iran intensified, warning that continued strikes put civilian lives, shipping lanes and regional stability at risk.
Gulf officials say diplomatic channels remain open despite the latest flare-up. The UAE continues to monitor developments closely and has assured residents that domestic security remains unaffected. Authorities are asking the public to rely only on official sources for updates as the situation develops.
