The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates announced in a statement that the country is "seeking further clarification regarding the terms of the agreement to ensure Iran's full commitment to the immediate cessation of all hostilities in the region and the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz."
The ministry added that Iran's attacks "require a firm stance, including ensuring that Iran is held accountable and fully responsible for damages and compensation."

During more than a month of war, Iran attacked the Gulf countries in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks, targeting the United Arab Emirates more than any other country.
Iran's attacks disrupted life in a region that had long been seen as a safe haven in a tense Middle East; these attacks targeted not only U.S. assets but also civilian infrastructure, including airports, energy infrastructure, as well as landmark sites, ports, hotels, and residential areas.

The United Arab Emirates called for addressing "the full spectrum of Iran's threats, including nuclear capabilities, ballistic missiles, drones," and its proxy forces, and emphasized that threats against freedom of navigation, as well as economic warfare and piracy in the Strait of Hormuz, must come to an end.

Iran's attacks have soured relations between the Gulf countries and the Islamic Republic after years of de-escalation among former adversaries.
These developments have also pushed the United Arab Emirates to adopt a tougher stance towards Iran, leading it to recall its ambassador from the Islamic Republic and close its embassy there.

This comes as some media outlets close to the Iranian government claim that the attacks on Qeshm Island occurred after a ceasefire was initiated by Emirati fighter jets. Tehran and Abu Dhabi have not officially commented on these reports.
