The Ministry of Defense in the UAE said in a statement that it "condemns this brazen attack, which constitutes a serious violation and a clear breach of international law, threatening the security and stability of the region."
New Delhi summoned on Tuesday the Iranian deputy envoy after an Indian civilian was killed in an overnight attack on 2 vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
On the other hand, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) later confirmed the attack, saying it fired missiles towards two tankers which had ignored warnings, turned off navigation systems and attempted to pass through a mined route.
