UAE calls IRGC use of Hormuz pressure 'piracy'
The UAE Foreign Ministry says targeting commercial navigation or using the Strait of Hormuz for economic blackmail amounts to piracy by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The United Arab Emirates has condemned actions that target commercial shipping or use the Strait of Hormuz as leverage, describing them as acts of piracy attributable to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
