Iran claims drone strike on UAE base hosting US forces
What's new: Tehran said it used dozens of attack drones against Al Minhad and framed the strike as retaliation for deaths on Larak Island.
Iran said its military struck the United Arab Emirates' Al Minhad Air Base with drones early Monday, targeting areas where U.S. personnel and helicopters were stationed. Iranian state TV, citing an army statement, reported that the operation used dozens of attack drones. Tehran cast the strike as retaliation for the killing of Revolutionary Guards members and Iranian civilians on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. There was no immediate public response from the UAE to Iran's claim, and the Emirati defense ministry had not issued a statement. The reported attack marks another escalation in the confrontation involving Iran and U.S. forces in the region.
