The United Arab Emirates has condemned an alleged Iranian attack on a vessel linked to its state oil company as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
The incident is the latest in a series of escalations in the region, with the UAE accusing Iran of firing a missile at the carrier. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global oil trade, and any disruptions to shipping in the area have significant implications for the global economy. The UAE has called for an investigation into the incident, which is likely to further strain relations between the two nations.
