Iran's Gharibabadi says 'UAE must be held accountable'

Iran’s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi posted on X a US Department of Commerce document announcing the easing of export control regulations and elevating the UAE's export status, which he said was a reward for its support of military aggression against Iran. 

He described the document as "an official admission from Washington" and "a scandal document" for Abu Dhabi, adding that it carried "direct international responsibility and legal consequences". He said that the UAE "must be held accountable".

وزارت بازرگانی آمریکا سند جدیدی را منتشر کرده: تسهیل مقررات کنترل صادرات و ارتقای جایگاه صادراتی به امارات به پاس حمایت آن از تجاوز نظامی علیه ایران. این اعتراف رسمی واشنگتن و سند رسوایی ابوظبی، مسئولیت بین‌المللی و آثار حقوقی مستقیمی دارد. امارات باید پاسخگو باشد. pic.twitter.com/ODYdzcIXS4
