Iran Strikes Dubai and Bahrain as US-Israel War Expands Regionally
Iran has conducted a series of wide-ranging strikes against Gulf states in retaliation for the U.S. and Israeli military campaign known as Operation Epic Fury. The attacks targeted several countries including the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait, causing significant damage to luxury landmarks like the Fairmont hotel and the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi reported one fatality and seven injuries, while regional airspaces have been closed to commercial traffic. This marks the first time Iran has directly targeted stable Gulf monarchies, signaling a massive escalation in regional hostilities that previously remained between Iran and Israel. The conflict has triggered panic in neighboring countries like Lebanon, where fuel and grocery queues are forming as citizens fear the involvement of Hezbollah.
