The United Arab Emirates’ Foreign Ministry has said it is closing its embassy in Iran and recalling its ambassador following the barrage of Iranian attacks on its soil.
“The UAE announces closure of its embassy in Tehran and withdrawal of its ambassador and all members of its diplomatic mission, and condemns the Iranian missile attacks,” read a statement posted by the Foreign Ministry’s Strategic Communications Director Afra Al Hameli.
The decision was made in response to “the blatant Iranian missile attacks that targeted the country’s territories, which constitute aggressive assaults that struck civilian sites, including residential areas, airports, ports, and service facilities, and exposed defenceless civilians to danger”.
