UAE reportedly launched secret strikes on Iran during conflict

According to multiple reports, the United Arab Emirates secretly carried out military strikes on Iran's Lavan Island oil refinery during the recent escalation in the Middle East. The attacks reportedly occurred both before and after a ceasefire, and in one instance were coordinated with Israel.

The reports suggest the UAE, which has not publicly acknowledged the strikes, targeted the oil refinery as part of a broader campaign involving the US and Israel. The claims add a new dimension to the regional conflict, indicating that Gulf states may have been more directly involved than previously known.
