UAE Accuses Iran of Attacking Two ADNOC Vessels in Strait of Hormuz
The United Arab Emirates accused Iran of attacking two vessels belonging to its state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with no injuries reported. The UAE condemned the attacks as acts of piracy by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, violating UN Security Council Resolution 2817 and threatening regional stability and global energy security. ADNOC confirmed control of the situation but provided limited details. Iran has not commented on the incident. This marks the second such attack on ADNOC vessels within a week amid ongoing regional tensions.
