The UAE yesterday reaffirmed its commitment not to allow its airspace, territory or waters to be used in any military actions against Iran, according to a statement issued by its foreign ministry.
It said this underscores its stance of neutrality and its commitment to maintaining regional stability.
Uncertainty over the possibility of military action in Iran has lingered after US President Donald Trump said last week that an ‘armada’ was heading towards the country but that he hoped he would not have to use it.
Trump’s warnings to Tehran were against killing protesters or restarting its nuclear programme.
