A fragile ceasefire in the US-Israel war on Iran is coming under growing strain as several Gulf countries reported drone attacks today.
Qatar’s Defence Ministry said, a drone struck a cargo ship coming from Abu Dhabi into a southern port, sparking a fire, while Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates said, they repelled drone attacks. UAE Defence Ministry said, its air defences dealt with two drones coming from Iran, the latest in renewed attacks on the oil-rich Gulf country. Kuwait’s Defence Ministry spokesman said that hostile drones entered Kuwait’s airspace this morning, and that forces responded in accordance with established procedures.
Earlier in the day, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy reiterated its warning that any attack on Iranian oil tankers or commercial vessels would be met with a heavy assault on one of the US bases in the region and enemy ships.
