Iranian Missile and Drone Strikes Damage UAE Infrastructure, Prompt Diplomatic Response

Iran launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on the United Arab Emirates, targeting key sites including Dubai International Airport, Burj Al Arab hotel, Palm Jumeirah, and Jebel Ali Port. The UAE's air defence intercepted most projectiles, but debris caused fires, structural damage, and casualties, including three deaths and dozens injured from various nationalities. The attacks followed US-Israeli strikes on Iran and led the UAE to close its embassy in Tehran and recall its ambassador. Airspace closures disrupted flights, and precautionary measures were implemented amid heightened regional tensions.
