UAE claims Iran fired two ballistic missiles at it

The UAE has accused Iran of firing two ballistic missiles at it on Tuesday, as the two-month window for US-Iran peace talks expired without a breakthrough.

The alleged incident was reported by the UAE Defense Ministry and the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA). The agencies did not explicitly say whether the incoming missiles were shot down. The military stated that one of them fell inside the country’s territorial waters, while the second landed outside.

Iran has not publicly commented on the allegations. If confirmed, it would be the first reported Iranian missile attack on the UAE in several months. At the height of the US-Israeli war on Iran, Tehran repeatedly targeted the Gulf nation, accusing it of allowing US forces to use its territory to launch attacks.
