Iran claimed attacks on two major aluminum plants in the Gulf, further raising the economic stakes of the Middle East war.
Iran fired a volley of missiles and drones at plants belonging to two of the world’s largest aluminum producers in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, the country’s Revolutionary Guards said Sunday, targeting what they described as industries linked to the US military.
Meanwhile, the UAE Defense Ministry said Sunday its air defense system was actively responding to missiles and drones, as Iran pressed strikes in the Gulf a month into the regional war. “UAE Air Defenses system(s) are actively engaging with missiles and UAV threats,” the ministry posted on X.
Kuwait’s military also said it was responding to “hostile missile and drone” threats. (AFP)
