A fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States has been shattered as Iran launched multiple missile and drone attacks on the United Arab Emirates, targeting key oil infrastructure and causing fires and injuries.
The UAE's air defense systems intercepted several projectiles, but some strikes hit critical facilities, prompting international condemnation and raising fears of a wider regional conflict. The attacks have pushed the UAE closer to Israel and heightened calls for stronger international support against Iranian aggression. Oil prices surged as traders reacted to the threat to Gulf energy exports and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides warning of further escalation and the global economy bracing for potential disruptions.
