Iran’s army says it attacked UAE’s Al Minhad Air Base with drones, state TV reports
The UAE said its air force dealt with the drone as tensions rose after exchanges of fire between Iran and U.S. forces.
- On Monday, the United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry announced its air force intercepted an Iranian drone over territorial waters, confirming it "dealt with" the unmanned aerial vehicle.
- The incident follows Sunday's U.S. Central Command strike on Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz that were preparing to deploy sea-mine-armed rockets against shipping.
- U.S. officials characterized the strikes as a "limited, precise action," while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Iran "will not stand idly by" following the attacks.
- The UAE Ministry denied Iranian reports alleging attacks on Al-Minhad Air Base, calling the claims "completely false" amid the military exchanges.
- Regional instability risks persist as Iran has targeted U.S. infrastructure since Feb. 28, with the last confirmed American action involving a "heavy wave of strikes" on Revolutionary Guard sites.
