UAE defenses struggle, Iran pounds Saudi Prince Sultan air base

In the fourth week of the escalating conflict, Iran has expanded its retaliatory campaign across the Gulf, targeting U.S. assets and allied infrastructure. Strikes and interceptions have been reported near Prince Sultan Air Base, Khalifa Economic Zone, Queen Alia International Airport, and Salalah Port. Debris from intercepted missiles has caused injuries and fires, while tensions continue to rise across Bahrain, Iraq, and beyond. The widening scope of attacks signals a dangerous multi-front escalation with serious implications for regional stability and global security.
