Iran Targets Busiest International Airport as Top UN Body Demands Halt to Attacks on Gulf Neighbors

Iran's attacks on Gulf shipping and oil infrastructure have disrupted a fifth of global traded oil, prompting the International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels of emergency reserves.

  • Iranian drone attacks hit a building near Dubai Creek Harbor early Thursday, part of an escalating campaign targeting Gulf infrastructure and commercial vessels amid intensifying regional conflict.
  • The Islamic Republic's strikes aim to generate sufficient economic pain pressuring the United States and Israel to end the war that began 12 days ago, according to analysts tracking the conflict.
  • A Thai cargo ship caught fire in the strait of Hormuz after Iranian strikes, while firefighters battled blazes at fuel storage tanks at the port in Salalah following days of attacks.
  • The Security Council voted Wednesday to demand a halt to Iran's 'egregious attacks' on Gulf neighbors, a 13-0 vote reflecting Tehran's isolated position as it responds to regional strikes.
  • Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced the United States will release 172 million barrels of oil next week, complementing the International Energy Agency's commitment to release 400 million barrels to stabilize markets.
