The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said a number of people had been injured in an Iranian strike on a key aluminium plant in Abu Dhabi, with significant damage reported by operator Emirates Global Aluminium. Meanwhile, state-controlled Aluminium Bahrain said two employees were wounded by an Iranian attack on one of the world's largest aluminium smelting facilities. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had targeted the sites with drones and missiles on Saturday in response to US and Israeli attacks on its own industrial plants.nIn a statement carried by Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency, the IRGC claimed the aluminium facilities were linked to the American military. It came after Tehran had accused Israel of targeting two steel production sites crucial to its economy. Elsewhere in the region, Oman said it was investigating "cowardly attacks" for which no one had yet claimed responsibility after a foreign worker was reportedly injured in a drone strike on its southern port of Salalah. Kuwait's defence ministry meanwhile said the radar system at its international airport had been significantly damaged after being attacked by 15 drones. With their economies and way of life on the line, countries in the Gulf insist they must have a say in any future peace talks. But they are split on the way forward - and on what the region's relationship with Iran or the US should look like. (BBC)
