Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, the UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director, and Group CEO of ADNOC and its companies, stated that Iran's blatant attacks on the United Arab Emirates "will not break our resolve." He emphasized that the country is not a party to the ongoing war in the region. Al Jaber explained that the UAE is a sovereign state that formulates its policies based on its national orientations and its approach supporting political solutions. Therefore, the UAE has made sincere efforts to find a diplomatic solution that would spare the region from conflicts and wars. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Al Jaber added that by closing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is waging a global economic war. This is not a regional issue but a global one that will lead to inflation, economic slowdown, and increased living costs for families. He noted that our oil and gas operations have been affected, but we will continue to do everything in our power to mitigate the situation's impact, with continuous assessment of every site, product, and shipment. We will continue our role as a reliable global energy supplier. Al Jaber confirmed that after the aggression and attacks cease, we will be able to quickly restore production and return to full capacity, stressing that the Iranian aggression will not break our resolve.
