Drone strike sparks fire at UAE nuclear power plant in latest blow to Iran ceasefire [View all]
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A drone strike targeted the United Arab Emirates’ sole nuclear power plant on Sunday, sparking a fire on its perimeter. There were no reports of injuries or radiological release, but it highlighted the risk of renewed war as the Iran ceasefire remains tenuous.
No one claimed responsibility, and the UAE did not blame anyone for what it said was an “unprovoked terrorist attack.” It has recently accused Iran of launching drone and missile attacks as tensions have risen over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy waterway gripped by Iran, which is under a U.S. naval blockade.
The UAE has hosted air defenses and personnel from Israel, which sparked the war by attacking Iran with the U.S. on Feb. 28. U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, Netanyahu's office said.
“For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them,” Trump posted on social media shortly after the call.
