MilitaryCrisis🇦🇪United Arab Emirates 🇮🇷Iran 🇧🇭Bahrain+12d ago

Dubai, June 28: The US military launched a second round of airstrikes Saturday targeting Iran at President Donald Trump's direction as Tehran hit both Bahrain and Kuwait, underscoring rising tensions that threaten the interim deal between the two nations to stop the war. The attack on Kuwait early Sunday was the first since the two sides signed a deal that aimed to halt fighting, and came as a multinational maritime body overseen by the US Navy said Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman in the strait to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic — likely setting up a new flashpoint with Tehran. The US military's Central Command said it struck Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a ship at sea early Saturday morning.

MilitaryCrisis🇦🇪United Arab Emirates 🇮🇷Iran 🇴🇲Oman2d ago

Dubai, Jun 28: The US military said Saturday it had struck multiple targets in Iran at President Donald Trump's direction, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the war's uneasy ceasefire. US Central Command, in a post to social media, said that US military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning. The ongoing strikes in the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the US reached an interim deal to try and agree on a final accord to end the conflict.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Tuesday signalled his willingness to submit the recently negotiated Iran agreement to Congress for review, as lawmakers from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers demanded access to a deal whose full terms remain closely guarded. Speaking during a meeting with United Arab Emirates (UAE) President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in France, Trump suggested he had no objection to congressional scrutiny of the accord, which was announced over the weekend and is expected to formally be signed in Geneva on Friday by Vice President JD Vance. “What I would like to do is send it to Congress and say, ‘You shouldn’t approve it.’ And they will approve it,” Trump said, appearing to joke about the review process.

Dubai, Jun 16: Iran's top diplomat said Tuesday that the deal ending the war with the United States would also require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon. But with Israel insisting it will keep forces in Lebanon, questions are growing about the still-unpublished agreement and whether disagreement over its terms could prolong the conflict. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Israel's continued occupation of southern Lebanon would violate the memorandum of understanding reached between the United States and Iran.

MilitaryCrisis🇦🇪United Arab Emirates 🇮🇷Iran 🇧🇭Bahrain19d ago

Dubai, Jun 11: The US launched a second round of airstrikes on Iran into Thursday morning after President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled negotiations. The new assault across multiple cities comes as efforts to negotiate an end the war again appeared stuck, with Iran insisting it would maintain its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, which has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices higher. Iran threatened to retaliate for the strikes, and missile sirens sounded Thursday morning in Bahrain, home to the headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet while the Kuwait military reported that its air defences were firing.

Dubai, June 08: Israel launched airstrikes early Monday targeting central and western Iran in response to missile fire from Tehran, attacks that threatened to drag the wider Middle East back into a regional war. Iranian state television reported the sound of explosions being heard in Isfahan, Karaj, Tabriz and Tehran, without immediately elaborating. A witness in Tehran described hearing at least one large blast somewhere to the west of the country’s capital city.

# Translation The US president has asked several Arab and Muslim countries to join those 2020 agreements with Israel to culminate his "peace" plan in the Middle East, but that is unlikely to happen after the genocide in Gaza. Trump now links the Iran deal to the normalization of relations with Israel. The Abraham Accords were presented by Donald Trump as one of the triumphs in foreign policy of his first term (2017-2021) and, after his return to the White House in 2025, the president has not abandoned that project.

Abu Dhabi says Iran launched 3,000 missiles and drones at UAE The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates reaffirmed the United Arab Emirates’s “firm approach based on supporting the security and stability of the region” while condemning “in the strongest terms the Iranian attacks and threats that targeted the state and the countries of the region”. In a statement, the ministry accused Iran of launching “approximately 3,000 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones toward the United Arab Emirates”, saying the strikes “resulted in deaths and injuries among civilians in addition to damage caused to civil infrastructure”. The UAE described the attacks as a “clear violation of the sovereignty of states and a direct threat to the security and stability of the region”, adding that all defensive measures were “aimed at protecting its sovereignty, civilians, and critical infrastructure”.

US forces have fired on and disabled two Iranian oil tankers after exchanging fire with Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz overnight. The United Arab Emirates, meanwhile, reported another Iranian missile and drone attack. The attacks on Friday cast more doubt on a tenuous month-old ceasefire that the United States has insisted is still in effect.
