The UAE Defence Ministry has reported that Iran has fired 304 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,627 kamikaze drones at the Emirates since February 28, but the majority of these aerial platforms were neutralized by their anti-ballistic missile defence.
An oil field in Abu Dhabi was hit by an Iranian projectile earlier this morning, prompting the closure of the entire airspace for a few hours.
Iran has made the rich sheikhdoms of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah priority targets, as the UAE has become the financial hub of the Middle East.
The Iranian hardline IRGC has justified the targeting of the UAE, saying the latter supports US military efforts and was part of the Abraham Accords.
The Iranian regime has used political Islam as a tool to capture power and ensure political survival by radicalising the masses.
The UAE government is seething with rage against the IRGC, but the Emirates does not have the offensive capacities required to neutralize Iranian ballistic missile launching pads.
The Iranian retaliation against the assassination of their Supreme Leader has reduced in numbers, but the firing of ballistic missiles against Gulf countries and Israel is expected to continue at least until the end of March.
The IRGC is sending a message to Gulf countries that even the US cannot save them from the wrath of Tehran and that the US can no longer guarantee the security of the Middle East.
Iran has left the Gulf nations with the binary option of either throwing US military assets out of their countries or continuing to face military attacks from Iran.
