UAE says it has the legitimate right to respond to Iran’s latest missile and drone attacks

# The United Arab Emirates says it reserves the full and legitimate right to respond to the renewed Iranian attacks targeting civilian sites and facilities in the country using missiles and drones. The UAE intercepted three missiles fired from Iran over its territorial waters on Monday, with a fourth one crashing into the sea. A fire also broke out at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone following an alleged drone attack originating from Tehran, wounding three Indian nationals. The UAE says these attacks constitute a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable transgression.
