Jordan condemns Iranian drone attack on UAE

Jordan condemned Monday the Iranian attack targeting the United Arab Emirates, involving a drone that was intercepted by air defense systems over UAE territorial waters.

Jordan described the attack as a “flagrant violation” of the UAE’s sovereignty, “a threat to its security, stability and territorial integrity, a dangerous escalation, and a blatant breach of international law and the UN Charter,” according to a statement by the Foreign Ministry.

The ministry also affirmed Jordan’s “full solidarity with the sisterly United Arab Emirates and its complete support for any steps the UAE takes to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents.”
