UN Strongly Condemns UAE, Hormuz Attacks, Warns of Escalation Risk
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said during a press briefing that “we are deeply concerned that multiple missiles and drones were launched at the United Arab Emirates on May 4, which reportedly resulted in three people injured and caused a fire at an oil facility in the Fujairah oil industry zone.”
He also noted that “several strikes targeting vessels took place in and around the Strait of Hormuz in recent days,” adding that this development is “significantly raising the danger of renewed hostilities in the region.”
Dujarric urged all parties to show restraint amid what he described as an increasingly fragile halt in fighting, calling on them to avoid actions that could further escalate tensions or undermine diplomatic efforts. “There is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes in full accordance with international law, including the charter of the United Nations,” he said.
Separately, the Fujairah Media Office reported that a major fire broke out at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, a key energy site on the UAE’s eastern coast, following a drone strike allegedly launched from Iran, as stated by reports.
