UAE condemns Iranian attack on 2 vessels in Hormuz strait
The Iranian attack targeted two vessels linked to the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company as they passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) strongly condemned an Iranian attack on two vessels belonging to the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) while they were navigating through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday evening. The UAE's foreign ministry released a statement denouncing the "hostile Iranian attack" that occurred, emphasizing that there were no reported injuries.
The strait, a crucial maritime route, has been under effective blockade by Iran, which is seeking to charge users for passage, a stance strongly opposed by the United States. Iran is currently engaged in negotiations with Oman regarding arrangements for the future management of the strait.
