The UAE will not allow its airspace, territory and waters to be used in any hostile military actions against Iran, nor will it provide logistical support for such operations.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that dialogue, de‑escalation, and respect for international law and state sovereignty remain the most effective ways to address current crises.
It also reaffirmed the UAE’s long‑standing commitment to resolving disputes through diplomatic means.
