In one of his strongest statements amid the war in West Asia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi “strongly condemned” Iran’s drone and missile attacks on oil facilities in Fujairah that injured three Indians and affirmed “solidarity” with the UAE.
Mr Modi’s words, published in a social media post, came days before his visit to Abu Dhabi, where he is expected to strengthen ties with the United Arab Emirates during talks with President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
