Abu Dhabi: The United Arab Emirates has vehemently denounced the missile strikes launched against Jordan, branding them as an egregious breach of the kingdom's sovereignty and a dire threat to its security and stability. In a formal statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs outlined the attacks as a grave violation of Jordan's sovereignty.
The UAE expressed its complete solidarity with Jordan and reiterated its unwavering support for all actions designed to defend the kingdom's security and stability. These attacks followed Iran's claim that it had launched ballistic missiles at US military installations in Jordan as a response to US strikes on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed the operation targeted King Hussein and Al Azraq airbases. The US strikes on Sunday aimed to neutralize Iranian launchers on Larak Island, which Washington alleged were being prepared for operations involving sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. This exchange marked the first significant military escalation between Washington and Tehran in approximately a month.
