The UAE, US and several Arab nations have strongly condemned Iran’s missile and drone attacks, calling them reckless violations of sovereignty and a threat to regional stability.
The United Arab Emirates, together with the United States and several Arab nations, has issued a firm and unified condemnation of missile and drone attacks carried out by the Iran, describing the strikes as reckless, unjustified and a serious escalation that threatens regional stability.
In a joint statement, the UAE stood alongside the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the State of Kuwait in strongly denouncing what they called indiscriminate attacks targeting sovereign territories across the region.
According to the statement, the missile and drone strikes affected multiple countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region. The nations said the attacks endangered civilian populations and caused damage to civilian infrastructure, heightening concerns over public safety and national security.
The joint declaration emphasised that such actions represent a clear violation of sovereignty and international norms. Officials described the strikes as a dangerous escalation that risks further destabilising an already sensitive regional environment. The targeting of civilians and countries not directly involved in hostilities was labelled reckless and deeply concerning.
The coalition reaffirmed its united commitment to defending its citizens, territories and sovereignty. Leaders underscored their right to self-defense in response to such threats, while also reiterating their broader commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the region.
The statement also commended the effectiveness of coordinated air and missile defense systems among allied nations. Officials noted that close cooperation and preparedness had helped intercept threats and prevent what could have been far greater loss of life and destruction. The successful defensive response was described as a testament to strong regional partnerships and shared security frameworks.
Regional analysts say the unified condemnation reflects strengthened cooperation between Gulf states and international partners in addressing emerging security challenges. The coordinated stance sends a message of solidarity and collective resolve amid rising tensions.
While condemning the attacks in the strongest terms, the nations stressed their continued dedication to safeguarding regional security through collaboration, vigilance and adherence to international law. Diplomatic and security channels remain active as authorities monitor developments closely.
The joint statement ultimately reaffirmed that any actions threatening civilian lives, sovereign territories and regional peace will be met with unity and determination by the countries concerned.
