The United Arab Emirates has condemned the “military targeting of Iran” and stressed the importance of exercising “utmost self-restraint” to avoid escalation, Reuters reports.

“The UAE expressed deep concern over the continued escalation and its repercussions on regional security and stability,” a statement by its foreign ministry said.

The ministry reaffirmed the UAE’s position that enhancing dialogue, adhering to international law, and respecting the sovereignty of states are essential foundations for resolving current crises.

The statement, similar to the one by Saudi Arabia, did not name Israel, which has claimed responsibility for the strikes.
