Iranian state media have released footage and alleged that the United Arab Emirates carried out a drone strike on the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas last night. The claim is unverified by independent sources.
The footage released by Iranian sources is said to show the aftermath of a drone attack on Bandar Abbas, a city that has been a focal point of recent strikes in the region. The claim specifically accuses the UAE of launching a volley of drones. As The Zioneer previously reported, Bandar Abbas has been hit by US strikes in recent days, with power outages reported. This new allegation introduces a different actor and has not been independently verified.
