“We are calling on the Islamic Republic of Iran to abstain from interfering in the affairs of Arab nations and stop the breaches and the provocative actions that spark disparity and sectarian strife between the people of the Arab nations,” United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan said.

“Also through supporting sabotage, terrorism, and incitement of violence which includes Iran’s record of interference in Arab issues such as invading Emirati islands, interfering in Bahrain, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen with absolutely no regard to Arab sentiment and relations.”
