The United Arab Emirates has announced it will not allow its airspace, territory, or waters to be used for any military strike against Iran, reinforcing its stance on regional sovereignty amid escalating U.S.–Iran tensions.
The Foreign Ministry confirms the UAE’s commitment to not allowing its airspace, territory or waters to be used for any hostile military action against Iran, nor will it provide any logistical support in this regard,” it said.
“Strengthening dialogue, reducing escalation, observing international law and respecting the sovereignty of states constitute the optimal basis for resolving current crises.”
The statement said the UAE calls for resolving differences exclusively by peaceful means.
US President Donald Trump has previously said that Washington is considering the use of force against Iran in connection with the protests in the Islamic republic. On January 23, he said the United States was monitoring Iran and sending significant forces, including ships, to the region.
