Iran Intensifies Attacks Across Gulf as Israel Hits Tehran

Iran launched a fresh wave of missile and drone strikes across the Gulf on Thursday evening, with attacks reported in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait.

Bahrain’s oil refinery was hit and set on fire, and there were reports of explosions near Abu Dhabi’s international airport. The UAE earlier warned Dubai residents of incoming projectiles, urging them to seek immediate shelter, before signaling the all clear about an hour later. Qatar also told residents to remain indoors, while the US said it’s suspending operations at its embassy in Kuwait.
