EU's von der Leyenová condemns Iranian attacks on UAE as violation of international law

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyenová condemned Iranian missile attacks against the United Arab Emirates as a clear violation of sovereignty and international law. The UAE's Ministry of Defense confirmed Monday that Iran fired four missiles targeting various areas across the country. Von der Leyenová said the European Union would work with international partners to push for de-escalation and a diplomatic solution to the crisis. The attacks represent a significant escalation in regional tensions between Iran and Gulf Arab states, potentially complicating broader Middle East diplomatic efforts.
