The United Arab Emirates intercepted Iranian missiles following a suspected drone attack. The UAE reported that it was targeted by Iranian strikes, including one on its Fujairah energy hub. Two people were injured in Oman when a residential building was hit along the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has not officially commented on the missile strikes against the UAE. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denied that any commercial ships had transited the Strait of Hormuz recently. Meanwhile, two US-flagged merchant vessels passed through the strait under US Navy escort.

Iran’s Foreign Minister stated that there is no military solution to this political crisis. An Iranian lawmaker asserted that there will be no return to the old status quo in the region. Global condemnation followed the alleged Iranian attacks on the UAE from multiple countries and organizations.

Key statements:

• “There will be no return to the old status quo,” said Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister.
• “The escalation must cease,” urged UK Labour leader Keir Starmer.
• Mohammad Reza Aref emphasized that managing the Strait of Hormuz remains a legitimate right of Iran.

The situation remains tense as regional powers and international allies react to these developments. The next steps from both Iran and its adversaries are yet to unfold as military operations continue in this strategically vital area.
