Muslim Council of Elders Strongly Condemns Targeting of ADNOC Tanker While Transiting the Strait of Hormuz
The Muslim Council of Elders strongly condemns the Iranian attack that targeted a tanker operated by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) with a missile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Despite no injuries being reported, the Council reaffirms its unequivocal rejection of such attacks, which threaten the security and safety of maritime navigation and international trade.
The Muslim Council of Elders emphasizes that targeting commercial vessels and threatening freedom of navigation in international waterways constitute a flagrant violation of international law, international conventions, and relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. Such actions pose a direct threat to regional security and stability, as well as to global trade, energy supplies, and the international economy.
The Muslim Council of Elders stresses the urgent need for the immediate cessation of all attacks targeting vessels, civilian infrastructure, and international maritime routes. The Council also calls for unequivocal respect for freedom of navigation and for ensuring the security and safety of the Strait of Hormuz. It also renews solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and reaffirms its support for all measures the country undertakes to safeguard its security and sovereignty and protect its national interests, in a manner that contributes to strengthening regional security and stability.
