His statement came after a drone strike caused a fire near the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates. UAE officials said there was no radiation risk and no injuries were reported. The International Atomic Energy Agency expressed concern over the incident. Talks between the US and Iran remain stalled over the Strait of Hormuz and broader regional tensions.
