UAE Condemns Iranian Attack on ADNOC Vessels in Strait of Hormuz

The united arab emirates: The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned and denounced the hostile Iranian attack that targeted two vessels affiliated with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) as they transited the Strait of Hormuz, with no injuries reported.

According to Qatar News Agency, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted that this attack constitutes a flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolution 2817. The resolution affirms the importance of freedom of navigation and rejects the targeting of commercial vessels or the obstruction of international maritime routes.

The Ministry further emphasised that targeting commercial shipping and using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of economic coercion or blackmail represents acts of piracy by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. This, they stated, constitutes a direct threat to the stability of the region, its peoples, and global energy security.
