Iran Pounds Gulf With Missiles, Drones As UAE, Bahrain Defences Face Relentless Onslaught
A major escalation is unfolding in the Gulf as the UAE intercepts 42 drones and 16 ballistic missiles launched by Iran in a fresh wave of attacks. Bahrain has also reported intercepting hundreds of missiles and drones since the war began, underscoring the relentless pressure on regional air defences. Iran’s IRGC claims it has targeted key industrial facilities in both countries, including major aluminium plants linked to global supply chains. While damage remains unverified, the strikes signal a dangerous shift toward economic targets. With repeated attacks intensifying, the Gulf is rapidly turning into a critical frontline in the expanding regional conflict.
