The United Arab Emirates has emphasized that it has made no changes to its defensive posture despite repeated attacks originating from Iran, WAM reported.

The country has faced more than a thousand hostile incidents - surpassing the total number endured by any other targeted nation in the region combined.

Each of these attacks has been successfully intercepted and neutralized by the UAE Armed Forces, demonstrating the highest standards of professionalism, efficiency, and operational excellence.

The UAE stresses that it remains a neutral party in the ongoing conflict and has not allowed its territory, territorial waters, or airspace to be used for strikes against Iran. This position aligns with the nation’s long-standing policy of promoting regional stability, good neighborliness and de-escalation, in full compliance with the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.

At the same time, the UAE underscores its unequivocal right to self-defense, as guaranteed under international law and the UN Charter.

Authorities also call on media organizations and the public to exercise responsibility, emphasizing the need to rely on official, credible sources and to avoid spreading unverified or misleading information about the country’s stance or military actions.
