On Tuesday, the Emirati ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, called Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to express his solidarity; the same day, Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed emphasized a diplomatic approach was needed to “prevent the situation from spiraling into grave and far-reaching consequences.”

"Until now I can't believe that I have arrived in Jordan. I saw King's Abdullah's photo at the border and I felt so happy I got off the bus and made the sign of victory…for the sake of Siwar."

The force said they believed the grey Audi first hit the rider of an electric bike before continuing and hitting Abdullah, who was walking nearby.

Abdullah was devoted to his family and would "light up their faces with a big smile", his friends and family said in a statement.

One relative, Saleh Alsirkal, who runs a corner shop on Staniforth Road, which the teenager visited just before he was hit, said Abdullah had been enjoying learning English as "it meant a lot to him and he learned quick".
