The Gulf region witnessed a dramatic escalation after Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and thousands of drones targeting multiple Gulf territories. Air defence systems across the region were immediately activated as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia intercepted incoming threats in a large-scale defensive operation. Authorities confirmed that several ballistic missiles and drone swarms were detected over Gulf airspace, triggering emergency interception procedures. The UAE Interior Ministry issued a high-level security advisory, urging residents to stay indoors, avoid open areas and follow official updates as defence operations continue. WATCH

The United States military has issued a major warning to civilians near Iranian ports along the Strait of Hormuz, saying safety cannot be guaranteed as military operations intensify in the region. US Central Command warned that Iranian naval forces are using civilian ports to conduct military activities, potentially making those facilities legitimate military targets under international law. Dockworkers, port personnel, and commercial ship crews have been urged to avoid Iranian naval vessels and military equipment.

The war rhetoric between Iran and the United States is intensifying. In a dramatic warning directed at Donald Trump, Iranian security chief Ali Larijani has vowed revenge for what he called “the blood of Iran’s leader and its people.” Larijani, a close ally of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, claimed that Iranian forces have inflicted heavy losses on American troops during the ongoing conflict. According to Tehran, several U.S. soldiers were captured and Washington is allegedly reporting them as “killed in action” to conceal the truth. The claims have been strongly rejected by U.S. CENTCOM, which dismissed Iran’s statements as misinformation and insisted that no American troops have been taken prisoner. The exchange comes as the conflict triggered by U.S.-Israeli strikes continues to widen across the region. WATCH

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims its missiles struck the USS Abraham Lincoln as it sailed near the Strait of Hormuz after approaching from the Gulf of Oman. Tehran insists the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and its escort ships were targeted roughly 340 km from Iran’s maritime borders, prompting what Iranian officials describe as a “rapid withdrawal” from the alleged strike zone. Tehran’s spokesperson even says the carrier and destroyers sped away more than 1,000 km from the scene in high‑speed maneuvers. But the U.S. military has strongly pushed back, refuting Iran’s account and stating categorically that no missiles came near the Abraham Lincoln. WATCH
