Authorities in Abu Dhabi have confirmed the deaths of two individuals after debris from a recently intercepted ballistic missile fell in the city. In addition to the fatalities, three others sustained injuries, and several vehicles were damaged in the incident, which occurred on Sweihan Street, an official statement from the Abu Dhabi Media Office.
Officials have urged the public to rely solely on verified information from official sources and warned against spreading unconfirmed reports. They also indicated that further updates would be provided as the situation unfolds.
In a significant development earlier today, six Gulf countries—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Jordan—issued a joint condemnation of Iranian attacks in the region. The statement described these strikes, carried out either directly by Iran or through proxy forces in Iraq, as a “flagrant violation” of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and international law. It emphasized that the attacks targeted neighboring states and critical infrastructure, breaching international humanitarian law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026).
The declaration reflects growing regional concerns over Iran’s destabilizing activities and proxy networks, while reaffirming the commitment of these six nations to protect regional stability and sovereignty.
Meanwhile, nearly four weeks into the ongoing conflict, the United States and Iran have presented conflicting views on the prospects for a ceasefire. US President Donald Trump suggested that Iranian leaders are interested in reaching a deal but are reluctant to admit it publicly due to internal and military pressures. Conversely, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi denied that formal negotiations are taking place, stating that communications through intermediaries have been limited to exchanging positions and warnings rather than engaging in talks.
At the heart of the standoff is a 15-point US ceasefire proposal, reportedly delivered via Pakistan, which calls on Iran to curb its nuclear program, halt missile development, and cease support for regional allies. While Washington has warned of potential military escalation if the plan is rejected, Tehran insists that any ceasefire must also address issues in Lebanon, reflecting its broader strategic interests in the Middle East.
