President Sheikh Mohamed on Thursday condemned Iran's attack on Azerbaijani territory in a phone call with the country's leader.
Sheikh Mohamed affirmed the UAE's solidarity in talks with President Ilham Aliyev, in which both men underlined the implications of military escalation.
Azerbaijan said four Iranian drones had crossed its border on Thursday to carry out an attack in the Nakhchivan exclave, resulting in four injuries.
Mr Aliyev had ordered his armed forces to "prepare and implement appropriate retaliatory measures". Iran subsequently denied responsibility for the strike.
Sheikh Mohamed underlined the UAE's solidarity with Azerbaijan over the measures it is taking to protect its security and territorial integrity.
The UAE has faced a bombardment of missile and drone strikes since the regional conflict began with US and Israeli attacks on Iran on Saturday.
Both sides stressed the need for an immediate halt to all forms of escalation and underscored the importance of dialogue and diplomacy in addressing conflict.
Sheikh Mohamed received further calls from global leaders offering support after Iranian missile and drone attacks on the UAE.
Among those denouncing the Iranian attacks were Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, Tarique Rahman, Prime Minister of Bangladesh and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
Sheikh Mohamed also received a call from Delcy Rodriguez, acting President of Venezuela, who expressed her country's solidarity with the UAE in efforts to protect its security, stability and the safety of its people, state news agency Wam reported.
Both leaders stressed the need for "an immediate halt to military action and a return to dialogue and diplomacy to prevent further escalation and safeguard regional and international security and stability".
Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of Uzbekistan, also condemned the attacks from Iran, in a call with the UAE President. Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, also called Sheikh Mohamed to say Iran's actions were a breach of international law and the UN Charter.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, held phone calls with Wang Yi, China's Foreign Minister; Masrour Barzani, Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan; Sugiono, Foreign Minister of Indonesia; Mexico's Secretary of Foreign Affairs Juan Ramon de la Fuente; Youssef Raggi, Lebanon's Foreign Minister; Ronald Lamola, Minister of International Relations and Co-operation for South Africa; and Nikos Dendias, the Greek Minister of National Defence.
