"The United Arab Emirates has said its air defences intercepted ballistic and cruise missiles fired from Iran, while a fire was reported at an oil facility in Fujairah after a suspected drone attack."
"Tehran has not officially commented. Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, along with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the European Union, have condemned the suspected Iranian strike on the UAE."
"State media reported that the Iranian fast boats the US military claimed to have targeted on Monday were not IRGC-affiliated but civilian vessels carrying goods and passengers, and that five innocent people were killed."
"Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasised that the escalating situation makes it clear that there's no military solution to a political crisis."
The UAE reported intercepting ballistic and cruise missiles from Iran after a suspected drone attack caused a fire at an oil facility in Fujairah. Iran has not commented on the incident. Several nations, including Qatar, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, condemned the attack. Tensions are heightened, with US President Trump warning of severe consequences for targeting US Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran denied claims of targeting commercial vessels and asserted its rights over the Strait, while US forces engaged Iranian boats during a military operation.
