The United Arab Emirates has called for Iran to be held accountable for recent missile and drone attacks on Gulf countries, demanding compensation for the damage caused during the ongoing regional conflict.
Senior UAE officials said that any political solution to the crisis must include clear guarantees of non-aggression and financial compensation for attacks on civilian areas and critical infrastructure.
Demand for accountability
UAE officials stressed that a simple ceasefire is not enough and warned that lasting peace requires accountability. They said Iran must ensure such attacks are not repeated and take responsibility for the destruction caused.
The UAE also highlighted the need for a broader agreement that includes:
- Protection of civilian infrastructure
- Security guarantees for Gulf nations
- Free and safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz
Regional impact
The attacks have affected regional stability, with multiple missiles and drones reportedly intercepted by Gulf defence systems. The conflict has also disrupted shipping routes and energy supplies, raising global concerns.
Despite a recent ceasefire, tensions remain high, and Gulf countries continue to push for stronger international action.
What’s next
The UAE and its allies are expected to press for stricter terms in any future agreement, focusing on security, accountability and long term stability in the region.
Bottom line:
The UAE has made it clear that peace efforts must go beyond a ceasefire, insisting that Iran be held responsible and compensate for damages caused by its attacks.
