UAE condemns Iranian attack on Qatari tanker Al Rakayat
The United Arab Emirates strongly condemned what it called an “aggressive Iranian attack” targeting the Qatari tanker Al Rakayat as it transited near the Strait of Hormuz, in a Foreign Ministry statement posted on X Tuesday.
The ministry expressed full solidarity with Qatar and said targeting commercial shipping or using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of pressure or economic blackmail was unacceptable.
The ministry said the attack posed a serious threat to international navigation and the security of one of the world’s most vital waterways.
