The UAE has suspended all trade, commercial activity, and financial transactions with Iran until further notice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced.
Afra Al Hamli, Director of Strategic Communication at the ministry, said the decision was taken in response to regional escalation that has undermined peace and security at both regional and international levels. She rejected what she described as inaccurate characterisations of the UAE-Iran economic relationship, while reaffirming the country’s commitment to dialogue, cooperation, and regional integration as the foundations for stability and prosperity.
Al Hamli said the UAE remains firmly committed to protecting the integrity of the international financial system, in line with international law and the highest global standards.
