The United Arab Emirates said it was halting all trade and financial transactions with Iran after what it described as renewed missile fire from Iran. The move was announced after two ballistic missiles were fired toward the UAE late Tuesday, prompting nationwide warnings for residents to seek shelter.
The Emirati Foreign Ministry said the measures would remain in place until further notice, while also saying the UAE remained committed to dialogue, cooperation and regional integration. The Defense Ministry said its assessments showed the missiles targeted maritime traffic, though it was not clear whether they were aimed at Emirati ships or territorial waters.
Iran denied responsibility for the missile launches.

It also noted that attacks in and around the Strait of Hormuz had affected ships and infrastructure during the conflict.
阿联酋在遭遇新一轮导弹袭击后暂停与伊朗贸易
阿拉伯联合酋长国表示，在其所称的伊朗新一轮导弹袭击后，已暂停与伊朗之间的一切贸易和金融交易。该决定是在周二深夜两枚弹道导弹飞向阿联酋后宣布的，当时全国范围内发出了要求居民避难的警报。
阿联酋外交部表示，这些措施将持续到另行通知，同时强调阿联酋仍致力于对话、合作和地区一体化。国防部称，评估显示导弹瞄准的是海上交通，但尚不清楚目标是阿联酋船只还是其领海。
伊朗否认对这两次导弹发射负责。报道还指出，阿联酋一直是伊朗重要的转口枢纽，早前战事缓和后，部分海运贸易已于6月下旬恢复。报道同时提到，整个冲突期间，霍尔木兹海峡及其周边的船只和基础设施都受到影响。
