United Arab Emirates accused Iran of launching two ballistic missiles toward its territory, with one missile falling inside UAE territorial waters. UAE air defences detected the launches, triggering an emergency alert that urged residents to seek shelter. Abu Dhabi has warned that any threat to its sovereignty and security will face a firm response, while Iran has yet to publicly respond to the allegations. The incident marks the first reported missile warning in months and comes as the wider Iran war and regional tensions intensify. The key question now is whether this was an isolated incident or the beginning of another dangerous escalation across the Gulf.

00:27The United Arab Emirates
00:29says Iran launched two ballistic missiles towards its territory, with one falling outside
00:36UAE territorial waters and the second falling inside them. The UAE Ministry of Defense says
00:44its air defense systems detected the missiles, and now Abu Dhabi is warning that it is prepared
00:50to respond firmly to any threat to its sovereignty and security. The warning came after UAE residents
00:58received a brief emergency phone alert. They were told there was a potential missile threat
01:04and were urged to seek shelter in the nearest secure building. The alert was lifted shortly
01:10afterwards, but the incident marks an important development, because according to UAE authorities,
01:17this was the first time in months that a missile barrage had been detected heading towards the
01:22country. The UAE says it remains on high alert and is prepared to confront any attempt to undermine its
01:30security, stability, or national interests. Iran, however, has not yet publicly responded to the UAE's
01:38allegations. And there is another significant detail. The latest incident comes after several
01:45previous alerts this year. A false alarm was reported in June, and in July, another warning was issued over a
01:53possible attack that ultimately did not enter UAE territory. The last missile warning before this
01:59came in early May. At the same time, tankers linked to state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company,
02:07or ADNAC, have reportedly been targeted repeatedly in recent weeks. This latest missile incident also
02:15comes against the backdrop of the wider Iran war. When the conflict began on February 28th, following
02:22joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the UAE said it faced a heavy barrage with nearly 3,000
02:30missiles and
02:31drones directed at the country. But attacks then stopped for a period after a memorandum of understanding
02:37between the U.S. and Iran took effect in June. That arrangement has since collapsed. And now, with the UAE
02:45reporting another missile incident, the Gulf is once again watching closely. The biggest question is what
02:52happens next? Will this remain an isolated incident? Or could the latest accusations trigger another
02:59escalation between Iran and the Gulf states? For now, the UAE says its defenses remain active, and its message
03:08is clear. Any threat to its sovereignty and security, Abu Dhabi says, will face a firm response.
03:15And now, the U.S. and the U.S. and the U.S. and the U.S. and the U
03:34.S.
03:45The strait of Hormuz could be heading toward a dangerous new phase. Iran is threatening to shift
03:52from a defensive posture to a fully offensive strategy if diplomacy with the United States
03:57collapses. A senior Iranian official has warned that Tehran is preparing for what could become
04:03a major military escalation in and around the strategic waterway. The warning comes as efforts
04:10to revive a deal between Washington and Tehran appear to have stalled. And with oil tanker
04:16traffic already severely disrupted, the next move could have consequences far beyond the
04:22Middle East. According to a senior Iranian official who spoke to Reuters, Iran has decided to shift
04:28its policy from defensive to fully offensive. The official said Iranian entities must prepare
04:35for an escalation in the strait of Hormuz and across the wider region. Tehran is reportedly
04:41preparing to make what it described as difficult decisions if diplomatic efforts fail. And the
04:47warning goes even further. Iran says it could launch a timely and precise military attack aimed
04:53at breaking the U.S. naval blockade. That would mark a dramatic escalation in an already dangerous
05:00confrontation. The threat comes at a critical moment. Monday marked the deadline under a memorandum
05:06of understanding agreed between Iran and the United States in June. That agreement was supposed
05:12to provide a framework for ending the war and restoring stability. The memorandum established a 60-day
05:19period for Washington and Tehran to negotiate a broader settlement. That settlement was expected
05:25to address major issues, including Iran's nuclear program. But instead of moving toward a final
05:31agreement, the process has effectively stalled. And at the center of the dispute is the Strait
05:37of Hormuz. The June agreement called for an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations.
05:43But the arrangement quickly began to unravel. Iran argues that a provision in the memorandum
05:49system gives Tehran the right to manage the Strait of Hormuz. Washington rejects that interpretation.
05:55The disagreement has already contributed to renewed hostilities. Iran began targeting vessels
06:01it accused of attempting to navigate the waterway using routes that Tehran had not approved.
06:07The result has been a dramatic reduction in commercial traffic through one of the world's most important
06:12energy choke points. Now, Tehran appears to be putting Washington on notice. The Iranian official
06:19told Reuters that Iran has established a deadline of a few weeks. According to the official, the United
06:25States would have to implement all provisions of the agreement within that period before Iran would
06:31consider further negotiations. Mediators are expected to communicate Tehran's demands to Washington
06:37and other regional governments. But there is little indication that the two sides are close to
06:42resolving their differences. Instead, both Washington and Tehran have intensified their rhetoric,
06:49and every new threat raises the possibility of another military confrontation. President Donald Trump
06:55has continued to insist that Iran must not be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. But he has also warned
07:02Americans that the conflict could mean continued pressure on fuel prices. At a rally on Friday,
07:08Trump said Americans should prepare for high energy costs as the war continues. He also made a striking
07:15claim about the future of Hormuz. Trump said that after defeating Iran, he could declare the Strait of
07:21Hormuz a territory of the United States. That statement is likely to further alarm Tehran. On Monday, Trump again
07:29said that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains his number one objective. But Tehran
07:36has repeatedly accused Washington of violating its commitments. Now, the diplomatic deadlock is being
07:42matched by increasingly aggressive military warnings. Iran says it is prepared to take action. The United
07:49States continues to maintain pressure on Iran, and the Strait of Hormuz remains caught directly in the middle.
08:06One of the busiest oil routes on Earth. Right now, closed. And Iran just made it clear. It's staying
08:14that way. On Thursday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, dropped a new statement. And the message
08:22was blunt. The Strait of Hormuz will not reopen as long as U.S. threats and interference continue.
08:30According to the IRGC, two oil tankers tried to leave through what it called the unsafe southern route
08:38on Tuesday night, allegedly after being directed there by U.S. aircraft. One of the tankers reportedly
08:45caught fire. Both reversed course. Iran's line, this Strait is Iranian territory. No outside power gets to
08:53dictate what happens here. Quick reminder why this tiny strip of water makes global headlines every
09:00time it flares up? A massive share of the world's seaborne oil and gas passes through here. Any
09:07disruption and energy markets feel it within hours. So when Iran says closed, shipping insurers, oil
09:14traders and governments across the Gulf all sit up. This didn't come out of nowhere. Iran says in
09:22earlier understanding, reached in Islamabad, was supposed to end the wider conflict and recognize
09:28Iran's control over the Strait in exchange for lifting restrictions on ships tied to its adversaries.
09:35Tehran's accusation now, Washington broke that deal by setting up what it calls an unsafe corridor near
09:43Omani waters. And that's what triggered this new lockdown. The IRGC also had a warning for other
09:50countries in the region. Back the U.S. position and expect consequences too. Bottom line from Tehran,
09:58this isn't a temporary shutdown over one incident. It's conditional,
10:03tied directly to U.S. conduct in the region. As long as that continues, Iran says so does the closure.
10:11And with strikes and counter strikes continuing on multiple fronts, there's no sign either side
10:17is backing down soon. One of the world's most important choke points held hostage to a much bigger standoff.
10:33They said the ceasefire was holding. It wasn't. Tonight, U.S. forces just launched what analysts
10:40are calling Wave 2. And this time, the missiles didn't come from carriers in the Gulf. They came from
10:46Kuwait. Multiple ballistic missiles, Atakams and the newer Precision Strike Missile, or PRSM,
10:53were fired from U.S. positions inside Kuwait, arcing across the border straight into southwestern Iran.
11:00Eyewitness videos flooding social media show salvo after salvo streaking through the night sky, smoke
11:06plumes, fireballs, and residents in Kuwait watching their own soil become a launch pad for a war next
11:12door. The primary target, Abaddon, in Kuzestan Province. This isn't some remote outpost. Abaddon
11:19is one of Iran's most important oil refining and industrial hubs, sitting right on the Iraq border.
11:25Local reports describe fires burning near military-linked facilities after the strikes hit. For a region
11:31already running on fumes economically, this is a direct hit to Iran's energy backbone. But Abaddon wasn't
11:38alone. Far to the south, explosions rocked Kish Island, some Iranian outlets reporting up to six
11:45blasts on this small but strategically massive island in the Persian Gulf. Kish sits near vital
11:51shipping lanes and functions as a free economic zone. Hitting it sends a message, nowhere on the
11:57water is safe. Then came Boucher, a name that makes energy analysts nervous because it's home to Iran's
12:04only commercial nuclear power plant. Explosions were reported near the port city, air defenses lit up
12:10the sky trying to intercept incoming threats, and the question on everyone's mind, how close did this
12:16get to nuclear infrastructure? And finally, Bandar Abbas, arguably the crown jewel target. This is Iran's
12:24most critical southern port, a naval base sitting right on the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command has
12:30made no secret of its goal, degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping through that strait.
12:36Strikes here focused on military assets, coastal surveillance, and maritime capability. Here's the
12:43bigger picture. The Strait of Hormuz carries a massive share of the world's oil. Every strike near it sends
12:50shock waves through energy markets, tanker insurance, and global shipping routes. Iran's IRGC has vowed
12:56retaliation, and it's not an empty threat. Kuwait's own bases like Camp Arifjan and Ali Salem Air Base
13:03have already come under drone and missile fire, sirens, interceptions, a region bracing for what comes next.
13:12The Strait of Hormuz may be inching closer to a diplomatic breakthrough, but Iran says the world's
13:20most important energy choke point will not reopen simply because of a deal with Oman.
13:27Tehran has made one thing clear. Any agreement over shipping routes is only part of the equation.
13:34Iran now says the strait will remain effectively closed until the United States accepts Tehran's
13:42conditions, setting up a new showdown over one of the world's most critical maritime corridors.
13:48Iran's Revolutionary Guard has declared that reopening the Strait of Hormuz
13:55depends entirely on Washington changing what Tehran describes as its behavior.
14:02Guard spokesperson Hossein Mohebi said the reopening is not linked to negotiations with Oman,
14:09but instead hinges on whether the United States accepts Iran's demands.
14:15Those remarks came despite Iranian officials confirming that negotiations with Oman are approaching a
14:22breakthrough. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran and Oman are very close to reaching an agreement
14:30on a new shipping route through the strait. However, he stressed that reopening commercial traffic requires
14:37much more than a technical arrangement. Iran says Washington must first meet several political and
14:44security conditions. Among those demands are compensation for damage caused during the
14:50conflict, an end to U.S. military threats against Iran, lifting sanctions, removing what Tehran calls
14:58the blockade, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and ending actions against Iran's regional allies.
15:06The developments come as the conflict enters another sensitive phase. The United States has repeatedly
15:13expressed optimism that an agreement could soon restore commercial shipping through Hormuz.
15:20American officials say Washington is prepared to lift restrictions on Iranian ports once Tehran fulfills its
15:28commitments under any future agreement. But Iran continues to reject suggestions that negotiations alone
15:36guarantee the reopening of the waterway. Meanwhile, tensions remain high inside the strait itself.
15:44The United Arab Emirates has accused Iran of launching another attack against a vessel linked to ADNOC while
15:52transiting Hormuz. Oman described the negotiations with Tehran as positive and constructive,
16:00while urging all parties to avoid actions that could undermine diplomatic progress.
16:06Iranian President Massoud Pezash Khan said the current moment offers the best opportunity to reach an
16:13agreement. He argued that Iran enters negotiations from what he describes as a position of unity and strength
16:21following months of conflict. Yet, despite diplomatic optimism, commercial shipping continues to face
16:29major disruption. Iran has justified tighter control over maritime traffic by citing wartime security concerns.
16:38The resulting restrictions have pushed freight costs higher, disrupted global energy supplies,
16:45and fueled inflation across international markets. According to U.S. Central Command, more than 30 humanitarian
16:53vessels have been allowed through during the blockade, while dozens of other ships have been turned away or
17:00intercepted under existing enforcement measures. For now, diplomats continue working toward an agreement. But Tehran's
17:09latest message leaves little doubt. The fate of the Strait of Hormuz will ultimately depend not only on negotiations
17:17with Oman, but on whether Washington is willing to meet Tehran's broader political demands. With global energy
17:25markets closely watching every development, the Strait of Hormuz remains the world's most sensitive maritime
17:32flashpoint. As negotiations continue, any breakthrough now appears inseparable from the broader political
17:41confrontation between Tehran and Washington.
