A fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran appeared to deteriorate sharply Monday after the United Arab Emirates reported missile and drone attacks it attributed to Iran, including a strike that triggered a large fire at the key oil port of Fujairah.
UAE authorities said air defenses intercepted multiple projectiles, while a drone strike hit Fujairah, injuring three people and igniting a blaze at the strategic facility. The country's foreign ministry also reported that a tanker linked to its state oil company had been struck in the Strait of Hormuz, calling the incidents a "dangerous escalation." Iran's state media, however, cited an unnamed official saying Tehran had "no plans to target the UAE."
