A UAE defence ministry spokesperson said the country holds sufficient strategic reserves of ammunition and artillery to sustain air defence operations “for long periods” as regional tensions rise.

he spokesperson said the UAE “will not accept any violation of its sovereignty or territorial integrity,” and said the armed forces are ready to respond to any developments, according to the statement.

In parallel comments, the minister of state for international cooperation called for de escalation, saying the UAE does not seek to widen the conflict and does not view military solutions as a path to stable outcomes, while maintaining what she described as the country’s right to self defence under international law.

On the economic front, the economy minister said the UAE has strategic reserves of basic commodities sufficient to cover domestic market needs for four to six months. He said supply chains for imported goods remain stable and that the country can quickly secure alternative markets and manage disruptions if conditions worsen.
