Iran launches dozens of ballistic missiles and drones at UAE and Israel

by

Iran has just launched significant missile and drone barrages toward United Arab Emirates and Israel, with the UAE reporting at least 16 ballistic missiles and over 117 drones in the most recent assault; most were intercepted but some projectiles and debris have still fallen within territory and caused damage and casualties.

Iran has launched a series of ballistic missiles and drones at the United Arab Emirates and Israel as it furiously retaliates after an overnight bombardment which left Tehran burning.

Explosions have been heard over Tel Aviv, with missile warnings in the UAE, as Iran hits out following the Israeli attack on oil depots which caused a ‘river of fire’ to engulf its capital.

At least six people are injured in Israel, including one seriously, as a result of the barrage.

It follows US President Donald Trump’s pledge to dial up the attacks as the war in the Middle East entered its second week.

Meanwhile Mr Trump last night targeted UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer – insisting ‘we don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!’

The British Government is now considering sending an aircraft carrier to the region.

Mr Trump also responded to questions regarding the US’s willingness to send ground troops to Iran.

He said last night that the soldiers’ deployment ‘would be a great thing’, but cautioned: ‘Right now, we’re just decimating them’.

‘There would have to be a very good reason. I would say if we ever did that they would be so decimated that they wouldn’t be able to fight at the ground level,’ he said.

From data centers in the Gulf area to water desalination plants, the worst-case scenario is now unfolding in the Middle East conflict, with no boundaries regarding civilian infrastructure.

We warned earlier last week, after correctly predicting that data centers would be targeted, that water desalination plants would be next (see the previous update).

Al Jazeera reports that after Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi claimed the US targeted a water desalination plant in Iran, an IRGC kamikaze drone then targeted a desalination plant in Bahrain.
