NEW DELHI: A drone attack on the UAE’s Barakah nuclear power plant has intensified fears of a wider regional escalation, with analysts warning that Iran-backed militias in Iraq are emerging as a key front in Tehran’s confrontation with the US and Israel.
The United Arab Emirates said the attack targeting the Barakah plant on Sunday originated from Iraq and condemned it as a “terrorist” act. Senior presidential adviser Anwar Gargash blamed “Iranian militias in Iraq” for the incident in a social media post.
