Iran US War LIVE: The United Arab Emirates has carried out military strikes on Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. The report comes even as US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Tuesday that Israel sent Iron Dome anti-missile batteries and personnel to operate them to the United Arab Emirates to defend the country during the Iran war.
Meanwhile, parliamentary national security and foreign policy commission spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaei said Iran could enrich uranium up to 90 per cent purity, a level considered weapons-grade, if the country is attacked again. Iran currently has 400 kilograms of near weapons-grade uranium. “One of Iran’s options in the event of another attack could be 90 per cent enrichment. We will review it in the parliament,” Rezaei posted on X.
