Over the weekend, the United Arab Emirates’ air defence architecture demonstrated a high level of effectiveness in countering a sustained Iranian attack involving ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial systems. According to official UAE Ministry of Defence data, a very large-scale salvo — comprising over 130 ballistic missiles and more than 200 drones — was detected approaching UAE airspace. The majority of these threats were intercepted and destroyed mid-air by UAE air defence systems, with only a small number of missiles falling into the sea or dropping debris within the country.
UAE announces the closure of its embassy in Tehran Iran, the withdrawal of its ambassador and all members of its diplomatic mission, and condemns the Iranian missile attacks.
The UAE does not tolerate aggression. UAE shuts its embassy in Tehran. Ambassador withdrawn. Full diplomatic mission evacuated. #Iran’s missile attacks targeted #UAE territory, hitting civilian areas, airports, ports, and vital infrastructure. A reckless escalation. A direct violation of sovereignty and international law.
We will not forget those who spread fake news and recycled old footage while lives were at risk. Those who chose trends over truth. Clicks over people. Noise over humanity. The UAE is safe. The UAE is strong. In the end, we will not remember the noise of our enemies. We will remember who stood silent while we were under fire.
Enemies are expected.
Silence from friends is a decision.
And history has no mercy for those who chose it.
The security situation in the UAE is FULLY under CONTROL, and normal life continues. The UAE maintains FULL READINESS to confront any threats. The safety of citizens, residents, and visitors remains a non-negotiable priority.
