UAE Presidential Adviser Dr Anwar Gargash on Tuesday expressed gratitude for global support against the recent Iranian attacks while holding Tehran responsible.

In a statement posted on X, Gargash emphasised appreciation for messages of solidarity from the Gulf, Arab, and wider international community, describing them as a reaffirmation of a world order “based on values and responsibility” that rejects “rogue actions and isolates their perpetrators.”

Gargash firmly placed the blame on Iran, describing it as “the aggressor party, responsible for exacerbating the crisis in the Arabian Gulf and a source of danger and threat to its security and stability.”

The comments come amid growing international condemnation of Iran’s actions, highlighting the UAE’s call for accountability and regional stability.
