Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, stated in a post on X, "Our partner, the United Arab Emirates, has once again been subjected to malicious missile and drone attacks originating from Iran. These attacks are unacceptable and constitute a clear violation of sovereignty and international law. We stand in full solidarity with the UAE and our partners in the Middle East. Regional security has direct implications for Europe."
