Abu Dhabi: The United Arab Emirates has announced the closure of its embassy in Tehran and the withdrawal of its ambassador and all diplomatic staff from Iran.

The decision follows recent Iranian missile attacks targeting UAE territory. The strikes hit civilian areas, airports, ports, and essential facilities, endangering innocent lives. The UAE described the attacks as aggressive acts violating its national sovereignty and international law, including the UN Charter.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the move reflects the country’s firm stance against any attack on its security and sovereignty. Officials highlighted that Iran’s ongoing aggressive and provocative actions undermine regional peace and escalate risks to international security, energy stability, and the global economy.
