The UAE reported an air attack from Iran
The United Arab Emirates intercepted three missiles launched from Iran and a fourth fell into the sea, the Defense Ministry said on social media site X.
A major fire broke out in the oil refinery complex (FOIZ) area in the emirate of Fujairah following an attack by Iran. This was reported by the press service of the government of the emirate in X. As a result of the attack, three Indian citizens were injured and were hospitalized, the report said .
The UAE Ministry of Defense added that the work of the air defense system continues.
The UAE Foreign Ministry called the Iranian attack a "dangerous escalation." A statement posted on social media X said the UAE "reserves the full and legal right to respond to these attacks."
The UAE Ministry of Defense later reported that Iran launched 12 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles and four drones in their direction.
Iranian state television said Tehran had "no plans" to strike the United Arab Emirates, Reuters reported. Iranian state media reported, citing military leaders, that the attack on Fujairah was the result of US “military adventurism.”
US President Donald Trump said Iran carried out several strikes on "unrelated" countries and on a South Korean cargo ship. It was the only one that suffered damage, Trump added. According to him, the United States destroyed seven Iranian boats in the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, the head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), Brad Cooper, said that the US military “blew up” six boats. The Iranian leadership denies losses.
Earlier on May 4, the Iranian Fars agency, citing sources, reported that Iran attacked an unnamed American ship in the Strait of Hormuz with two missiles, and it was forced to leave the strait. US Central Command said that "not a single American ship was hit."
- On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a missile attack on Iran. In response, Iran attacked its neighboring countries, including the UAE. Fujairah has already been attacked by Iranian drones in early March. Fujairah is the most important bunkering port and one of the largest oil storage and trading centers in the Middle East.
- After a temporary truce was concluded on April 8, the attacks stopped.
- On April 11, negotiations were held in Islamabad between the United States and Iran, which did not lead to any result. The parties cannot agree on the second round of negotiations because they are not satisfied with the terms offered to each other.
