Abu Dhabi, UAE – Diplomatic advisor to the President of the UAE, Dr. Anwar Gargash, said through his official account on the “X” platform: “The Iranian militias in Iraq targeting the Barakah peaceful nuclear power plant is a dangerous indicator of the extent of the threat facing the region”. As a result of the absence of the national state on the one hand, and clear violations of international law on the other hand. Including Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1977 and Security Council Resolution 487 of 1981.

استهداف المليشيات الإيرانية في العراق لمحطة براكة للطاقة النووية السلمية مؤشر خطير على حجم التهديد الذي تواجهه المنطقة، نتيجة غياب الدولة الوطنية من جهة، والانتهاكات الواضحة للقانون الدولي من جهة أخرى، بما في ذلك البروتوكول الإضافي الأول لاتفاقيات جنيف لعام ١٩٧٧ وقرار مجلس الأمن…

— د. أنور قرقاش (@AnwarGargash) May 20, 2026

Gargash stressed: “The hijacking and piracy of the Strait of Hormuz also represent a threat to the global economy and the international order. Targeting Barakah is a directed criminal act and a direct violation of international law.

Gargash continued, saying: “From Hormuz to Barakah, the threat extends beyond the Arabian Gulf to reach the entire international system, and reflects a mentality of chaos and blackmail that does not care about the security of peoples, international law, or the stability of the global economy. In its quest for survival and imposing its aggressive logic.
