The United Arab Emirates has issued a strong condemnation of what it described as a “terrorist attack” by Iran targeting the Habshan gas facility and the Bab oil field, marking yet another escalation in the rapidly intensifying Iran vs US–Israel war. The incident, though intercepted by UAE air defence systems, was caused by falling debris from the successful interception of missiles. As per the AD Media Office, the gas facilities have been shut down and no injuries have been reported. This has sent shockwaves across the region, highlighting the growing vulnerability of critical energy infrastructure.
While no casualties were reported, the implications of the attack go far beyond immediate damage. It signals a dangerous shift in the Iran vs US–Israel war, where energy itself has become a battlefield. The incident follows Iran’s Pars gas field being struck by Israel, after which Tehran warned Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar that its oil and gas facilities would be targeted in the coming hours.
