On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Defense reported the activation of air defense systems in response to missile and drone attacks launched from Iran. This escalation follows an incident on Monday, where three Indian nationals were injured in an alleged Iranian strike on an oil industrial zone in Fujairah, UAE. The Fujairah Media Office indicated that the aerial attacks caused a fire in the oil facility, while Iranian media claimed responsibility for the strikes. Unverified reports suggested that missile attacks also targeted the Dubai port, damaging American facilities. As a precaution, flight operations at major airports, including Dubai and Sharjah, were temporarily suspended due to drone threats. The United States Central Command refuted claims that any US naval vessels were struck during these attacks. This incident highlights rising tensions in the region, particularly following US President Donald Trump's announcement of “Project Freedom” aimed at securing maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
