"Iran has sought to justify its attacks on Gulf countries by arguing that the presence of US military bases on their soil makes those states legitimate targets, after Israel and the US launched joint air strikes on Tehran on February 28. However, civilian infrastructure has also been hit, including landmarks, airports, ports and oil facilities across the Gulf."
"The UAE's Ministry of Defence has reported six deaths since the war began on February 28, including four civilians and two military personnel, who died in a helicopter crash blamed on a technical malfunction."
Iran has conducted attacks on Gulf countries, targeting both US military assets and civilian infrastructure. The UAE experienced a drone attack that caused a fire near Dubai International Airport, prompting flight diversions to Al Maktoum International Airport and temporary suspension of operations. Similar incidents occurred in Abu Dhabi, where a missile struck a civilian vehicle, killing one person. Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia also reported intercepting drones and missiles. Iran justifies these attacks by claiming the presence of US military bases in Gulf states makes them legitimate targets, following joint Israeli-US airstrikes on Tehran on February 28. The UAE's Ministry of Defence has reported six deaths since the conflict began, including four civilians.
