US EditionBahrain aluminum giant says Iranian attack targeted its facility
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said strikes targeted aluminum plants linked to U.S. military; injuries reported and significant damage sustained in Bahrain and UAE facilities.
- On Saturday, an Iranian missile and drone strike damaged the Al Taweelah aluminum smelter in the United Arab Emirates operated by Emirates Global Aluminium . The facility sustained significant damage at the Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi.
- This attack follows nearly a month of conflict after joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Tehran killed top officials. Iran has retaliated by targeting regional infrastructure and leveraging control over the Strait of Hormuz, effectively blocking key trade routes.
- The Al Taweelah facility produced 1.6 million tons of cast metal in 2025. CEO Abdulnasser bin Kalban said the company is "assessing the damage to our facilities" while prioritizing employee safety.
- Global aluminum supplies face increased strain as Gulf producers responsible for about eight percent of global output halt shipments. Oil has crossed $100 a barrel, reflecting broader commodity price climbs from the conflict.
- Indonesia's nickel producers and garment exporters face similar threats as the conflict disrupts logistics across multiple industries. Experts warn these ongoing industrial halts, compounded by high commodity costs, will continue to weigh on global economies.
