The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates described the attack as a blatant violation of international law and a threat to the security and safety of maritime navigation.

In a statement, the ministry affirmed Jordan’s rejection and condemnation of the attack, stressing the Kingdom’s full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and its complete support for any measures the UAE takes to protect its security, stability and national interests.

The Emirates News Agency (WAM) had earlier quoted ADNOC as saying that two of its vessels came under attack while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday evening.

ADNOC said: “The attack resulted in no injuries, and the situation was brought under control.”

The UAE condemned the Iranian attack on ADNOC vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, stressing the need for Iran to halt its aggressive attacks, comply with a cessation of all hostilities, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
