President Sheikh Mohamed has discussed the Iran war with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Sheikh Mohamed received a call from Mr Putin on Tuesday, when the leaders discussed “ongoing military escalations and their serious implications for regional and international peace and security, as well as the negative repercussions for international maritime navigation and the global economy”, state news agency Wam reported.

Sheikh Mohamed also received a call from Mr Mitsotakis, who shared his country's condemnation of the attacks on the UAE by Iran, saying they represented a violation of sovereignty, international law and the UN Charter.

They also discussed bilateral co-operation and ways to further the comprehensive strategic partnership between the nations.

Since the start of the Iranian attacks, UAE air defences have engaged 433 ballistic missiles, 19 cruise missiles and 1,977 drones.
