The United Arab Emirates confirmed that it has not taken any decision to change its defensive stance towards the repeated Iranian attacks. The country has been subjected to more than a thousand attacks, a number greater than the sum of all the targeted countries combined, and our armed forces have responded to them with all professionalism, efficiency and distinction.

The country also confirms that it did not participate in the war, and did not allow its lands, territorial waters, or airspace to be used in any attack on Iran, in compliance with its policies based on good neighborliness and de-escalation, and in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

In this regard, the UAE affirms that it reserves its right to self-defense, as guaranteed by international law and the United Nations Charter.

The state stresses the importance of adhering to journalistic professionalism, and the necessity of obtaining information from reliable official sources before publishing or circulating any inaccurate reports.
