ABU DHABI, March 1 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced Sunday the closure of its embassy in Tehran, and the withdrawal of its ambassador and all members of its diplomatic mission from Iran.
The UAE's foreign ministry said in a statement that the decision was made in the wake of Iranian missile attacks targeting its territory, which it said have affected civilian areas.
Amid the ongoing military conflict in the region, the UAE's Capital Market Authority said Sunday that stock markets in the country, the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and the Dubai Financial Market, will remain closed on Monday and Tuesday, adding that further measures will be taken if necessary.
Meanwhile, as airlines in the UAE are adjusting flight schedules in response to regional airspace closures, authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi said Sunday that they have directed hotels to extend the stays of guests affected by flight disruptions. Enditem
