'Unprovoked Acts Of Terror': UAE Minister To NDTV On Iran's Drone Attacks

Hours before diplomatic talks that may or may not take place in Islamabad, the United Arab Emirates has issued its strongest condemnation yet of Iranian attacks on its territory. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, the UAE's Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Saeed Bin Mubarak Al Hajeri, described the strikes as "unprovoked terrorist attacks" against a country that was not a party to any war.

"Iran launched more than 2,800 missiles and drones against the UAE, more than against every other neighbouring country in the region. This is not random. This is intended. They were unprovoked terrorist attacks against a country that was not a party to this war. What we witnessed is not just a security escalation," Al Hajeri told NDTV's Vishnu Som.
