Calls with Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan
On Saturday, Mohammed bin Salman also held phone calls with Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II. During these conversations, the Crown Prince affirmed the Kingdom’s full solidarity and support for the brotherly countries, signaling a unified regional posture in response to cross-border strikes.
Defence response and operational updates in the uae
The UAE air defence systems intercepted and destroyed a new wave of Iranian missiles and drones launched towards the country, with authorities noting the operation was carried out with high efficiency and without any significant material damage. The UAE Ministry of Defence said it has successfully intercepted a new wave of Iranian missiles launched towards the country without any damage or injuries. These parallel statements emphasize both the military response and the reported lack of physical harm following the interceptions.
Local incidents and economic measures
Dubai authorities confirmed that a fire incident at a building in Palm Jumeirah is now under control. Separately, the UAE economy ministry said it held strategic reserves of staple goods that were plentiful and "safe", and urged citizens and residents to avoid stockpiling. Those reassurances aim to prevent panic-buying and stabilize local markets amid security tensions.
Diplomatic warnings, calls for restraint and next steps
Both sides warned of the serious consequences of continued violations of state sovereignty and international law through such acts, stressing that these actions constitute a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and undermines stability. The leaders called for restraint and the pursuit of diplomatic solutions to preserve the region's security and stability. The Crown Prince’s phone calls and the defence and civil responses described by UAE authorities reflect a concurrent approach of deterrence, preparedness and diplomatic engagement as the situation evolves.
Details may evolve as leaders and defence bodies continue coordination and responses; unclear in the provided context are any further operational or diplomatic steps beyond those stated in the leaders’ calls and the UAE statements on defence, the Palm Jumeirah fire and economic reserves.
