Who carried out a secret attack on Iran amid the ceasefire with America? Then Tehran fired thousands of missiles

Secret Attack on Iran: Amidst the ongoing tension in the Middle East, a new and shocking claim has now come to light. Till now it was believed that Iran was facing conflict only with America and Israel, but now reports have claimed that United Arab Emirates also attacked Iran behind the scenes.

It is being said that the UAE Air Force had targeted a large oil refinery complex on Iran’s Lavan Island just after US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire.

What information came to light?

According to the report of The Wall Street Journal, after this attack a massive fire broke out in the refinery. The report said that the fire was so serious that it caused major damage to Iran’s oil production capacity and its impact was expected to last for several months. At that time, Iran had described it as an enemy attack, but it did not publicly say which country carried out the attack.

Did Iran take action?

It is being told that after this attack, Iran also took strong retaliatory action. According to the report, Iran fired more than 2,800 missiles and drones towards UAE. This number is said to be more than the attacks carried out against Israel.

The Iranian attacks directly impacted the UAE’s economy and security system. Concern about security increased in major cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Air traffic was affected, the tourism industry suffered losses and the property market was also under pressure. Due to increasing regional tension, an atmosphere of uncertainty was created among investors and businessmen.

What was America’s reaction?

It has been claimed in the report that America did not openly protest against this action of UAE. A source was quoted as saying that the ceasefire had not been fully implemented at that time, so Washington had no objection to the UAE attacks. At that time it was also said by the White House that all options are open to President Trump.

What is strong UAE?

The UAE’s military force is considered the most modern and technologically strong in the Gulf region. It has advanced fighter aircraft and surveillance systems from western countries. Researchers have claimed to have seen pictures and videos of French Mirage fighter jet and Chinese Wing Loong drone over Iran. Both these weapons are used by the UAE army.

Not only at the military level, but also on the economic and diplomatic front, UAE has increased pressure on Iran. There has been strictness on economic activities related to Iran in Dubai. Schools and clubs associated with Tehran have been closed. Apart from this, visa and transit rights of Iranian citizens have also been cut.

What is the meaning of attack on Iran?

Middle East affairs expert Dina Esfandiary says that a direct attack on Iran by a Gulf country is considered a major change in regional politics. According to him, till now UAE was known for its business strength and security model, but Iran’s continuous attacks and increasing tension forced it to change its strategy.

Experts believe that now UAE has become the most vocal Gulf country to stand openly against Iran. It has further strengthened its military cooperation with America.

The report also says that in the coming times, Iran may try to create differences between the UAE and other Gulf countries which want to end the war through dialogue. However, at present the UAE has given a clear signal that it is ready to go to any level to protect its economic power, business interests and regional influence.
