Missile debris from Iranian retaliation struck Abu Dhabi, killing one; multiple Gulf states faced attacks and airspace closures amid U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran's military targets.

  • The United States and Israel launched joint military strikes on Iran targeting missile and nuclear sites, initiating major combat operations to remove threats to their security.
  • Iran retaliated with missile strikes on Israel and U.S. bases in neighboring Gulf countries, including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claiming responsibility.
  • The strikes caused explosions across Tehran and other Iranian cities, and Israel declared a state of emergency, closed its airspace, and urged citizens to seek shelter.
  • Diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran had been ongoing but failed to resolve disputes over Iran's nuclear program before the conflict escalated.
