UAE says two missiles detected earlier were launched from Iran
The defense ministry said the missiles targeted maritime navigation and prompted emergency alerts that were lifted after both projectiles fell into the sea.
- On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates issued a brief phone alert for "potential missile threats" after the Ministry of Defence confirmed it had detected missiles "directed towards the country."
- When the West Asia war began on February 28, the UAE bore the brunt of Iran's attacks, with nearly 3,000 missiles and drones directed at the country—more than anywhere else in the region.
- The Interior Ministry instructed residents to "immediately seek a safe place in the closest secure building" via phone alert, which was lifted shortly after.
- Tensions persist as the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran expired, and President Donald Trump laid claim to the Hormuz Strait, declaring it "US territory" amid an ongoing naval blockade.
- Later on Tuesday, Trump said there are "no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran," while the Hormuz Strait remains open despite intermittent ADNOC tanker attacks.
