Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it targeted a US air combat centre and a satellite communications hub at Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates amid the escalating US-Israel-Iran conflict. The base near Abu Dhabi hosts American military forces and is a key facility for regional air operations. Iranian officials described the strike as retaliation for US and Israeli attacks on Iran. Gulf states have heightened air defences, with several missiles and drones intercepted in the region. The attack marks a significant escalation, as Iran expands its strikes against US military installations across the Middle East during the ongoing conflict. (PC: India Today)
