Foreign Ministry Condemns Oil Tanker Attack
The UAE government calls for the condemnation of the attack carried out by Iran this morning against an Emirati oil tanker while it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz. It considers this a blatant violation of international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), which emphasizes freedom of navigation and opposes Iran's attempt to disrupt or close the strait. The UAE also affirms its rejection of Iran's use of the strait as a tool for bargaining and blackmail, and urges for its full reopening without conditions. This comes amid rising tensions in the region, with nations stressing the importance of maintaining international shipping security and preventing parties from using the strait to threaten regional peace and stability.
