Iran launched retaliatory attacks in the Gulf region following strikes by the United States and Israel, resulting in three deaths, including one Bangladeshi, and 58 injuries in the United Arab Emirates, according to Emirati authorities. The victims reportedly included citizens of Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh.

The UAE Ministry of Defense stated that its defense systems detected 165 ballistic missiles, of which 152 were destroyed, along with two cruise missiles shot down. The ministry further reported identifying 541 Iranian drones, successfully intercepting and destroying 506 of them. The information was cited from Khaleej Times.

The incident marks a significant escalation in regional hostilities, with Iran’s actions described as direct retaliation for earlier U.S. and Israeli attacks. The situation underscores rising tensions across the Gulf, with multiple nations now reporting casualties and heightened defense responses.
