The UAE has strongly condemned Iran’s terrorist attack on Bahrain, which killed a Moroccan civilian contractor with the UAE Armed Forces and injured five UAE Ministry of Defence personnel along with several Bahraini soldiers.
ABU DHABI: The regional conflict has claimed another innocent life. The UAE has issued its strongest condemnation yet of an Iranian attack on the Kingdom of Bahrain, after a Moroccan civilian contractor serving with the UAE Armed Forces was killed while carrying out routine duties, and five members of the UAE Ministry of Defence were injured alongside a number of Bahraini soldiers.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the strike as an unprovoked terrorist attack, a flagrant violation of international law, and a direct assault on the sovereignty and stability of Bahrain. The statement made clear that this is not an isolated incident but part of a dangerous pattern of escalation that now threatens the security of every GCC state and the wider region.
Behind the formal language of the condemnation is a deeply human loss. A civilian contractor, far from any battlefield, performing routine duties, lost his life in an attack he had no part in provoking. The UAE extended its sincere condolences to his family and to the people of Morocco, while expressing its hope for a full and speedy recovery for all those wounded in the strike.
The UAE reaffirmed its full solidarity with Bahrain and pledged its support for all measures taken to safeguard the kingdom’s security and stability. The message from Abu Dhabi is consistent and unwavering: attacks on GCC member states are attacks on the collective, and they will be met with unified condemnation and resolve.
Iran’s continued targeting of civilian and military personnel across the Gulf is drawing an increasingly sharp and coordinated international response. The death of a civilian contractor doing his job is the kind of moment that strips away any remaining ambiguity about the nature of these attacks.
The UAE stands with Bahrain. It stands with Morocco. And it stands firm.
