UAE accuses Iran of firing two ballistic missiles at shipping in the Gulf, according to reports. The United Arab Emirates claimed the attacks targeted commercial vessels, raising concerns over regional security. Iran dismissed the allegations as "baseless," denying any involvement.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions between the UAE and Iran. Officials in Dubai stated that the missiles were launched near shipping lanes, potentially disrupting maritime traffic. No casualties or damage were reported, but the attack has sparked fears of escalating conflict.
The UAE's accusation follows recent diplomatic tensions, including the U.S. Withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Iran has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, a claim the U.S. Has not confirmed.
The situation highlights ongoing regional instability, with both sides accusing each other of provocative actions. Further developments are expected as diplomatic channels remain closed.
