United Arab Emirates expressed its condemnation of the continued Iranian attacks against it, despite the declaration of a truce of non-escalation of military action between the United States and Iran, not to mention that the UAE has maintained restraint as it is not a party to the war since the beginning of the regional escalation, and considering that the UAE has no connection to the current war and no stake in it.
The UAE Ministry of Defense announced on its official website that “Iranian attacks since the start of the truce have amounted to 17 ballistic missiles and 35 drones, and the UAE air defenses have successfully dealt with them”,

This Emirati statement about the continuation of the attacks comes after the announcement of a temporary two-week truce between the United States and Iran, coinciding with Israel’s continued intensive aerial bombardment of southern Lebanon, as regional tensions appear to be still escalating.
