UAE Condemns ‘Hostile Iranian Attack’ on 2 ADNOC Vessels in Hormuz Strait

The United Arab Emirates on Friday blamed Iran for attacks on two vessels linked to the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) as they passed through the Strait of Hormuz a day earlier. The UAE foreign ministry denounced what it called "the hostile Iranian attack" targeting two vessels affiliated with ADNOC "with no injuries reported.” ADNOC confirmed "two of its vessels were attacked while transiting" the waterway on Thursday evening, adding the situation was "brought under control,” Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported. Continued attacks in the strait led to the collapse of an April ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
