The Gulf crisis has entered a dangerous new phase after Iran launched a massive missile and drone assault targeting the UAE, triggering panic across the region and intensifying fears of a wider West Asia war. UAE air defence systems intercepted several incoming Iranian projectiles, but reports confirm that at least 3 people were injured as debris and shockwaves hit populated areas. The latest escalation comes amid soaring tensions between Iran, the United States and Israel, with the UAE revealing a staggering number of Iranian missiles and drones intercepted since the conflict erupted. The situation spiralled further after US forces reportedly carried out retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets following attacks on American destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz. WATCH
