The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in the strongest and harshest terms the rejected Iranian attacks that targeted the United Arab Emirates using missiles and drones, in flagrant violation of the sovereignty of a sister country, international law, and the United Nations Charter, and the serious threat these actions pose to the security and stability of the region. She expressed "Lebanon's full and firm solidarity with the leadership, government and people of the United Arab Emirates," stressing that it "stands by its side in confronting these attacks, and supports its legitimate right to defend its lands, protect its security and stability, and preserve the safety of its citizens and residents of its lands."
