  "account": "The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned Iran's missile attack on Jordan, calling it a blatant violation of the kingdom's sovereignty and a direct threat to its security and stability. The UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared its full solidarity with Jordan and pledged support for all measures taken to safeguard the Hashemite Kingdom's security and stability.

Jordanian authorities urged residents not to approach or handle any unidentified fragments, emphasizing the need to rely on official information.

Iran claimed the attack was retaliation for US military actions against its oil tankers and targeted a US base at Al-Azraq in Jordan, though an independent assessment of damage was not made. The attack heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington, who had been involved in a series of confrontations across the Gulf and neighboring states. The UAE's stance placed the latest attack within the broader framework of sovereignty, rather than the competing military claims of Iran and the US.",
