The Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed concern about the escalation and said in a statement overnight Tuesday that it supports "diplomatic efforts to reach a political solution" to the conflict.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attacks.
"This escalation must end. Iran must engage in negotiations in a meaningful way to ensure that the ceasefire in the Middle East lasts and a lasting diplomatic solution is reached," Starmer wrote in a statement.
Monday's missile and drone attack on the United Arab Emirates was the first since a ceasefire between the United States and Iran began in early April. Three people were injured and a large fire broke out at a fuel facility at a port in the emirate of Fujairah, according to local authorities.
The Emirati Foreign Ministry said during the day that "the attacks constitute a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable violation" and emphasized that it reserves the right to respond.
Iran has not denied responsibility, but a military official stated that the country did not "have any prior plans to attack the oil facilities" and blamed the United States.
What happened is the result of the US military adventure in creating a route for ships to illegally pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the official said on Iranian state television.
