🛡 Core negotiation strength lies in Lebanon's legitimate territorial rights.

⚡️🇺🇳🇦🇪🇮🇷The UAE's representative to the United Nations:

🔹A UN member state has once again chosen the path of escalation and launched attacks against a neighboring country in clear violation of international law.

🔹Targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is unacceptable and illegal, and Iran's non-compliance is blatant.

🔹Commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz continue to be subjected to deliberate attacks targeting international shipping and one of the world's most important waterways.

🔹The Security Council must enforce its resolutions and compel Iran to comply using all available tools.

🔹We urge the Security Council to act decisively in response to Iran's violations and the clear threat it poses to international peace and security.
