Recent attacks on the UAE have increased fears that Gulf countries could be pulled back into a larger regional war as tensions rise again.

Recent missile and drone attacks on the United Arab Emirates have raised concerns about growing conflict in the region. The UAE said its air defence systems stopped many incoming attacks, but one strike still hit near Fujairah, causing a fire at an oil facility and injuring three people.
Officials say the attacks involved ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, and they believe they were launched from Iran. However, Iran has not officially accepted responsibility.
Fujairah is an important energy hub, so any attack there increases fears about oil supply and regional stability. This incident is seen as the biggest escalation since the ceasefire began earlier in April, and it suggests that the ceasefire may be weakening.
Several Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, have strongly condemned the attacks.
Earlier in the conflict, multiple countries in the region were targeted, with thousands of missiles and drones launched. Because of this, many countries are worried about being dragged back into a wider war if tensions continue to rise.
