UAE defends ‘defensive measures’ after report of strikes on Iran
The United Arab Emirates said on Saturday that all its actions were part of defensive measures aimed at protecting its sovereignty, civilians and vital infrastructure.
The statement by the UAE foreign ministry came days after the Wall Street Journal reported that Abu Dhabi carried out military operations against Iran in early April.
The UAE statement did not explicitly refer to the reported strikes on Iran.
“All actions taken by the UAE came within its framework of defensive measures aimed at protecting its sovereignty, civilians, and vital infrastructure,” the foreign ministry said.
