Iran strikes on the United Arab Emirates

Force in Play

Operating the air defense network absorbing the strikes

An Iranian drone slipped through UAE air defenses on Monday and ignited a fire at the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone, the bunkering hub through which much of the Gulf's refined fuel passes. Three foreign workers were injured, an Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) refinery shut down, and the country's Ministry of Education sent every school and university to remote learning through Friday. On Tuesday the air defenses fired again as a second wave of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones came in.
