Iran claims drone strike on UAE's Al Minhad Air Base in retaliation for US attack

Iran's army claims it struck Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE with drones, citing retaliation for a US attack on Larak Island that killed IRGC members and civilians. The claim is unverified and marks a significant escalation if confirmed, as it would be a direct Iranian attack on a Gulf state hosting US forces. This raises regional conflict risk and could impact oil shipping and Gulf security.
