Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has strongly condemned Iran’s missile attacks on Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, describing them as an assault on stability, prosperity, and the very idea that the Middle East can be defined by peace rather than war.
Reacting on social media, Rama said that targeting “a peaceful oasis like Dubai with rockets of hatred and destruction” once again reveals what he called the “medieval nature” of the regime in Iran. According to him, such actions reflect a system “destined to fail,” one that exports violence and uses terror as a weapon not only against its neighbors seeking peace, but also to intimidate its own people who demand freedom.
Rama described the UAE as a global symbol of peace promotion, openness to dialogue, economic dynamism, interfaith coexistence, and cultural vitality. He said it represents a model of what a modern Middle East can look like — confident, interconnected, forward-looking, and secure.
Expressing Albania’s “full and unwavering solidarity” with the UAE leadership and people, Rama emphasized that security in the Persian Gulf is not merely a local matter, but a global necessity. Any attempt to destabilize it, he warned, threatens energy routes, trade corridors, regional peace architecture, and broader international security.
He added that the international community must speak with clarity and unity, stating that state-sponsored aggression and missile attacks against civilian environments cannot leave space for what he referred to as the “Khomeinist Republic” within the community of nations.
Rama praised the leadership of UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, saying the country has chosen to be a beacon of stability and progress in the region.
The developments come amid escalating tensions, following reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in his office during joint U.S.–Israeli airstrikes. The news was confirmed by Iranian state media. U.S. President Donald Trump described Khamenei as “one of the worst people in history” and called on Iranians to “take back their country.”
