Washington, May 31, 2026 — The Wall Street Journal has published a explosive report claiming that the United Arab Emirates carried out multiple air strikes against Iran during the recent conflict, with the United States and Israel playing indirect supporting roles.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the strikes began in the early days of the war and continued for one day after the official ceasefire announcement — a detail likely to intensify diplomatic scrutiny of all parties involved.
The report alleges that intelligence was shared among the three nations to improve targeting accuracy. Key strategic sites reportedly struck include:
Qeshm and Abu Musa Islands — near the Strait of Hormuz
Bandar Abbas — Iran’s critical port city
Lavan Oil Refinery — Persian Gulf
Assaluyeh Petrochemical Complex — a vital energy hub
The revelations suggest a significant, if covert, realignment in Gulf geopolitics — with the UAE taking an active military role against Iran while maintaining a public posture of neutrality. Neither the UAE, the US, nor Israel has officially commented on the report.
