LIVE | Saudi Alarmed After Iran Missile Strike Near UAE Amid Trump’s Hormuz Move | Mojtaba
Tensions in the Gulf have sharply escalated after Iran launched missile and drone strikes on the United Arab Emirates, marking its first such attack since the ceasefire. The strikes targeted areas including Fujairah, where a key oil facility caught fire and several workers were injured.
The escalation comes alongside a new U.S. naval mission in the Strait of Hormuz—reportedly dubbed “Project Freedom”—under which American forces began escorting commercial ships. Iran has directly linked its actions to what it calls U.S. “adventurism,” accusing Donald Trump of provoking tensions in the region.
Saudi Arabia reacted strongly, with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman expressing deep concern and condemning the strikes. Riyadh warned that such attacks threaten regional stability and signaled full support for the UAE’s security.
