The United Arab Emirates reported on Monday that four missiles were fired from Iran toward its territory, marking the first such incident since a ceasefire between the United States and Iran was declared on April 8. The reported attack comes amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran.
According to a Bloomberg report, Iran attacked the UAE for the first time in nearly a month on Monday. The Axios news outlet stated that the UAE reported the four missiles were fired from Iran and that the country was actively responding. The Straits Times noted that the UAE had reported attacks for the first time since the truce took effect on April 8.
The ceasefire, which began on April 8, had paused hostilities between the US and Iran. The UAE’s report of incoming missile fire raises questions about the durability of that agreement. No immediate claim of responsibility or further details on the missiles’ targets or damage were provided in the initial reports.
Bloomberg linked the incident to heightened tensions between the US and the Islamic Republic. The Axios report characterized the ceasefire as being in peril following the UAE’s announcement. The Straits Times similarly described the truce as on the brink.
