NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday condemned the Iranian attack on the UAE's Fujairah that resulted in injuries to three Indian nationals.
PM Modi's Statement on X
In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, "Strongly condemn the attacks on the UAE that resulted in injuries to three Indian nationals. Targeting civilians and infrastructure is unacceptable." He further stated, "India stands in firm solidarity with the UAE and reiterates its support for the peaceful resolution of all issues through dialogue and diplomacy. Ensuring safe and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is vital for enduring regional peace, stability and global energy security."
Details of the Incident
According to reports, the injuries occurred after a strike triggered a fire at the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone. Authorities confirmed that the injured were taken to hospital, with their condition described as moderate. The incident comes as the ceasefire between the US and Iran appears on the brink of collapse, with peace talks seemingly at a dead end.
Regional Implications
The attack underscores the fragile security situation in the region. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway for global energy supplies, and any disruption could have far-reaching consequences for the global economy. India has consistently called for de-escalation and peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue.
PM Modi's condemnation reflects India's commitment to regional stability and the safety of its citizens abroad. The Indian government is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with UAE authorities to ensure the well-being of the affected nationals.
