The UAE Foreign Ministry issued a formal statement on the US-Iran agreement, emphasizing the importance of full compliance with its provisions to ensure an immediate and comprehensive halt to hostilities, respect for sovereignty and good neighborliness, adherence to international law, protection of shipping lanes and freedom of navigation — including through the Strait of Hormuz — and the strengthening of regional and international security, stability, and economic prosperity.
The United Arab Emirates issued an official response Monday afternoon to the emerging US-Iran agreement, with the Foreign Ministry stressing the need for all parties to fully adhere to the deal's terms. The statement calls for an immediate and comprehensive cessation of hostilities in the region, respect for national sovereignty and the principles of good neighborliness, strict compliance with international law, and protection of international shipping lanes and freedom of navigation — explicitly including the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE framed its position as supporting enhanced security, stability, and economic prosperity at both the regional and international levels.
As The Zioneer reported at 12:21 Jerusalem, the UAE had already reacted to the developing agreement with a similar emphasis on full commitment. The new statement formalizes that position as an official ministry communiqué. The Gulf state's stance reflects the interests of a major regional commercial and energy hub directly affected by the Iran-US maritime confrontation and the Strait of Hormuz blockade, which Iran's armed forces confirmed enforcing as of June 12. The UAE call for adherence to principles of good neighborliness and freedom of navigation is a clear signal that while Abu Dhabi supports a diplomatic resolution, it expects the deal to produce tangible de-escalation and unimpeded commercial traffic through the strategic waterway.
