UAE urges immediate halt to escalation after US strikes Iran

The United Arab Emirates has urged an immediate halt to escalation to "avoid serious repercussions" in the region following strikes by the US on Iran's nuclear facilities.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that such actions could lead the region to "new levels of instability".

The ministry emphasized the need to prioritise diplomacy and dialogue to resolve disputes, and reiterated its call for the international community to mobilise efforts to reach a comprehensive solution.

It also urged the United Nations Security Council to resolve the issues that pose a threat to regional and international security and stability.

On Sunday, Trump announced that US forces struck Iran's three main nuclear sites and warned Tehran it would face more devastating attacks if it does not agree to peace.
