UAE intercepts drone from Iran after US-Iran attacks resume
The United Arab Emirates said it intercepted a drone coming from Iran over its territorial waters and rejected as 'false' reports of an attack on its Al Menhad airbase. This comes after the US and Iran exchanged attacks overnight, resuming hostilities for the first time since July. US forces struck Iranian launchers on Larak Island, and Iran retaliated by attacking US bases in Jordan and the UAE's Al Menhad airbase, according to Iranian media. The UAE's Ministry of Defence confirmed the interception and urged the public to rely on official sources. The escalation threatens regional stability and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
