CAIRO – 28 February 2026: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi expressed Egypt’s full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates after Iranian attacks on several countries in the Middle East in the wake of major US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets on Saturday.
During a phone call with UAE’s President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, El-Sisi emphasized that military solutions will not serve the interests of any party and risk plunging the region into a cycle of violence, instability and bloodshed.
Instead, these measures contradict with the aspirations of the region’s peoples for security and prosperity, the Egyptian president said.
El-Sisi stressed Egypt’s full solidarity with the UAE and all other brotherly countries whose territories have been attacked, condemning any violation of Arab sovereignty or threats to their security and stability.
He stressed that such actions pose a serious threat to regional stability and risk creating chaos that undermines the prosperity and security of the region’s peoples.
El-Sisi underscored Egypt’s longstanding position regarding the necessity to return to dialogue and diplomacy for resolving the current crisis.
The Emirati president expressed his deep appreciation for Egypt’s steadfast support for the UAE and other Arab states, praising the strong fraternal ties between the two nations and their peoples.
What Is Happening?
US and Israeli forces carried out coordinated strikes across Iran early on Saturday as part of operation “Epic Fury” that is expected to last for several days, according to US officials.
The strikes have targeted Iranian leadership compounds, the military command, nuclear facilities, ballistic missile infrastructure, alongside other targets, killing dozens including children.
Iran responded with retaliatory attacks across the Middle East, launching waves of missiles targeting the US military presence in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar.
The affected countries strongly condemned the attacks as they continue to intercept successive waves of Iranian strikes.
Abu Dhabi, Doha and Manama said they reserve the right to respond.
Meanwhile, Iran’s armed forces vowed to “teach [Israel and the US] a lesson that they have never experienced in their history.”
“Any base in the whole region that helps Israel will be a target of the sacred system of the Islamic republic,” a senior armed forces’ spokesman said, adding: “We will show no leniency.”
