The recent ceasefire announcement between the U.S. and Iran sparked relief across the Gulf. However, new Iranian attacks quickly undermined hopes of calm.
Early Wednesday morning, the UAE reported an attack on its Habshan gas complex, forcing production to halt. Debris from a failed interception caused multiple fires, injuring two Emiratis and one Indian national.
In Doha, air raid alerts triggered after a prolonged Iranian strike on Tuesday night. At least eight intercept booms rattled the city, disrupting inbound flights for an hour.
Bahrain also reported fresh blasts following sirens that prompted residents to shelter. An Iranian drone strike damaged homes in the Sitra area, leaving two injured.
Tehran heard what sounded like air defenses firing, but officials confirmed it was a drill.
President Donald Trump initially claimed Iran offered a "workable" 10-point peace plan-later disowning it as fraudulent. Neither side has specified when the ceasefire will take effect. Israeli PM Netanyahu backed the pause in strikes against Iran but emphasized that operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon will continue.
