U.A.E. secretly carried out military strikes on Iran, shocking Wall Street Journal report claims today. The report says Abu Dhabi quietly launched attacks on Iranian targets, including a refinery on Lavan Island, during the height of the Iran conflict. The strikes reportedly came after repeated Iranian missile and drone attacks targeted the Emirates, damaging tourism, aviation and business confidence across the Gulf. U.S. officials allegedly welcomed the U.A.E.’s growing military role as tensions intensified around the Strait of Hormuz. The revelations expose a dramatic shift in Gulf politics, with the Emirates emerging as one of the most confrontational Arab states against Tehran during the escalating regional war.#UAE #Iran #MiddleEast #WallStreetJournal #BreakingNews #Trump #StraitOfHormuz #GulfWar #AbuDhabi #Israel #USIran #WorldNews #MilitaryNews #Tehran #Geopolitics
