Dubai and Abu Dhabi flights suspended after UAE air raid sirens warn of missile threats. The United Arab Emirates activated nationwide air defences after confirming incoming Iranian missiles, cruise missiles, and drones targeting the country amid escalating Gulf tensions. Flights from Munich, Amsterdam, Zurich, and Bengaluru were disrupted as emergency alerts spread across the UAE. Authorities urged residents to remain indoors while interception systems responded over Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Iranian-linked reports claimed strikes hit targets inside the UAE, including ports and energy infrastructure. The dramatic escalation follows fresh US-Iran clashes near the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.#UAE #Dubai #AbuDhabi #Iran #MissileAttack #DroneAttack #AirRaid #BreakingNews #StraitOfHormuz #MiddleEast #FlightSuspension #GulfCrisis #AirDefence #USIran #DubaiAirport

‘CIA Got It Wrong’: Araghchi Exposes ‘Failed US Intel’ On Iran Missile Power; ‘120% Stockpile Ready’

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi issued a fiery warning to the United States, declaring that Iran’s armed forces are “1,000 percent ready” to defend the country against any military escalation. Araghchi rejected reported CIA assessments claiming Iran’s missile capabilities had been weakened after recent US and Israeli strikes, insisting Tehran’s missile inventory is now “120 percent” stronger than before. He accused Washington of choosing “reckless military adventures” over diplomacy and warned that Iranians would never bow to pressure. The comments come amid soaring regional tensions and growing fears of a wider Middle East conflict involving Iran, the US, and Israel.
