The United Arab Emirates has issued a condemnation of Iran’s recent missile and drone attacks targeting Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. The UAE’s foreign ministry described these actions as a flagrant violation of sovereignty and a threat to regional security and stability. This condemnation comes amid escalating tensions in the 2026 Iran war, which resumed following the collapse of a ceasefire agreement earlier this month. Iran’s attacks, which focus on U.S. military infrastructure in these countries, represent a high-level escalation in the conflict that began after U.S. military strikes on Iranian territories.
