Jordan on Monday condemned the Iranian attack targeting an Emirati tanker belonging to ADNOC while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a flagrant violation of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that “Jordan rejects and denounces the attack, stressing its full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and its complete support for all measures it takes to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens.”
Earlier today, the UAE said Iran fired two drones at a tanker affiliated with its state oil company ADNOC in the Strait of Hormuz, condemning the attack.
"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," the foreign ministry said, adding there were no injuries.
