Abu Dhabi, August 13 (QNA) – The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned and denounced the hostile Iranian attack that targeted two vessels affiliated with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) as they transited the Strait of Hormuz, with no injuries reported.
In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs underscored that this attack constitutes a flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolution 2817, which affirmed the importance of freedom of navigation, and rejected the targeting of commercial vessels or the obstruction of international maritime routes.
The Ministry emphasised that targeting commercial shipping and using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of economic coercion or blackmail represents acts of piracy by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, and constitutes a direct threat to the stability of the region, its peoples, and global energy security.
