UAE Promises To Launch Biggest 'Not Invited To This Fight' Comeback Ever
KEY POINTS
- â˘Since the first day of conflict, Iran launched 186 missiles and 812 drones targeting the UAE and Gulf neighbors.
- â˘The UAE, hit hardest with three killed and around seventy injured, is now considering military retaliation.
- â˘Foreign policy adviser Anwar Gargash condemned Iranâs attacks as a 'miscalculation' isolating Tehran during a regional crisis.
Since day one of the Gulf reality show war, Iran has been pelting the UAE with a whopping 186 ballistic missiles (yes, 172 swatted away like mosquitos, 13 politely dumped in the sea, and one accidentally RSVPâd onto Emirati soil) plus 812 dronesâbecause who doesnât love a flying infestation? The UAE, apparently tired of mystery air strikes igniting fires at Jebel Ali Port and bombing swanky Dubai hotels, is now considering a military response despite swearing off the fightâs invite list. Foreign policy guru Anwar Gargash tweeted that Iranâs missile obsession only sealed their regional popularity-free ticket. With 3 foreign nationals dead, 70 wounded, Qatar throttling gas production, and Saudiâs maybe jumping in, everyoneâs wondering if this is Middle East 2026âs hottest new throwdown. Meanwhile, Trumpâs âOperation Epic Furyâ targets a swift knockout, scheduled for 4 to 5 weeks of fireworksâwhich is a delightful way to ruin everyoneâs spring break.
