TEHRAN: Iran has attacked the US Embassy in Dubai, according to regional media reports. There are also reports of a missile or drone strike on the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
Iranian media said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for a strike on what it described as a U.S. military gathering in Dubai. The IRGC said 160 American personnel were assembled at one location when the attack occurred. It claimed 40 were killed and 70 wounded. Independent verification of the casualties was not immediately available.
The United States and Israel have intensified their strikes on Iran in response. In the latest operation, they targeted a building belonging to the Assembly of Experts in the city of Qom. Analysts said the strike carried symbolic and strategic weight. Qom holds deep religious and political significance in Iran.
